Has any one gotten Windows 8 and installed it? I saw on CompUSA that it's 59.00 for the upgrade... and that it will work for XP too. I don't think I really want 8 but would like to hear if it's as good as MS says it is.

What I really want is 7 with 32 and 64 bit. I'm hoping the price for 7 Pro comes down now seeing 8 is out.

I like my XP but now I'm having too many problems with it, and now I have to do a reinstall.

Windows 8 pro comes with downgrade rights I believe

Just get it, try windows 8 for week or so, if you don't like it, downgrade

Its actually cheaper than getting windows 7
