No. Windows 7 Just Works, so I see no reason to upgrade.

No. I don't do "upgrades", I do clean installs.

Did you actually vote "no?" It seems to me that the question asks if you will switch to Windows 8, regardless of whether that's done through a clean installation or an in-place upgrade.

Voted No.
1. I won't be buying
2. I do clean installs.

I might be switching to Windows 8 soon though, I have 2 copies of Windows 8 Pro downloaded (32-bit & 64-bit).

Edit: I should have voted Yes.

I voted no because the OP specifically mentions the purchase of the Upgrade Edition, which I never use/purchase.

Windows 8 is the biggest screw up from Microsoft.

It appears to meant as a 'passing' OS until they trully make an OS fully capable of running on both a desktop and a tablet, and meanwhile, users get screwed.
