I am a Mac guy, so I don't have a horse in this race personally, and the verdict is still out with me on Windows 8. I guess we'll see what happens with the 8.1 release in October.
What I can tell you, is that of the clients I have sold Windows 8 machines to, about 40% have asked me to install Windows 7 on it, and another 40-50% settle for installing ClassicShell ..... and the other 10-20% either love it, or decide they will adapt to change. I have just as many people who purchased machines from the big box stores, and then come to me to downgrade it to Windows 7.
Windows 8 is so unpopular amongst my clients, that I search eBay and Kijiji for dead Windows 7 machines with Certificates of Authenticity intact, and I resell them to my clients for about 1/3 the cost of a new license - since they are 100% fully transferable.
