On a laptop/desktop.... not so much. Touchscreen is near mandatory IMO for a really smooth win8 experiance. I hope OEM's don't just push for win8 and try running it on "legacy" win7 style hardware. It will cause a lot of pain for end users. The Error Guy (14052)

1302111 2012-09-21 02:56:00 If they provide a Desktop version without Metro, or a way to make it look identical to windows 7, then I'll try it. Till then, I'm happy with 7, as it's the ideal operating system for me. goodiesguy (15316)

As long as it doesn't prevent running Metro apps.
