FWIW, it does seem like an improvement and doesn't do anything horrible like disallowing local accounts. And the update/revision control is actually better than in Win 7 and 8.x.

Once you remove the metroUI bs, I prefer Windows 8 over Windows 7.
-They finally put native windows taskbars on multiple monitors.
-Once you get used to it the ribbon Windows Explorer is actually nice.
-I do like the new file transfer dialog as it shows you a graph of the transfer speed
-Boot times are pretty quick
-New task manager is an improvement over Windows 7's.
I don't use any of the cloud crap. Just a local account. No metro stuff, I put on Classic Start.
For a long time I did not see a need/reason to move from Windows 7, but some time ago I installed it one a freshly built computer and gave it a shot. Metro got in the way so I gave Stardock's Start8 a try and haven't look back. I only have 2 Windows 7 machines left out of the 8-10 that I have running. I do have one linux machine, used to have two, moved the second over to Windows 8 around xmas
