I am pretty amazed at how many problems people are reporting with Windows 8. It works very well for us. I upgraded 7 machines, business and personal, and not one has any issue.

I did, however, run the Windows 8 Upgrade Advisor software prior to upgrading to obtain a list of potential issues and then made sure I had all the updated software versions and hardware drivers on hand for the actual upgrades themselves.

If anything, Win8 has improved productivity for us, especially in a multi-monitor environment per machine. And I find it noticeably faster than Windows 7. I should also mention that all of our machines are no more than 1 year old, so all hardware is also relatively new. Perhaps that's another reason why we just have not had any problems?
