    It gets better the longer you watch it. Win8 uses 200mb less RAM than Win7 with an improved, built in anti malware client running at the same time.

    In light of the improved security (enhanced Windows Defender), able to repair itself/clean install, lighter footprint, and uses Window 7 drivers; I'll give it a go.

    :D

    During the keynote presentation they boasted a lot about Win7 apps working on Win8, I've my fingers crossed.
