Just finished the Windows 8 installation on the ThinkPad laptop...and I must say...Microsoft, please look at Apple's OS X installation. Windows 8 install is a bit of a mess! I think that you need to look at the whole install/reboot process again and design from the ground up.
Having said that, my first impressions of the OS on the older test laptop is rather positive. I like the clean look and feel of the new system. I would say that the interface is a little inconsistent when you click through to get to some of the configuration options...if you are going to change the interface radically, then go for it! Don't lose your nerve halfway through.
Boot time was quick, but this test laptop is SSD based, so it does generally boot quickly anyway. More thoughts to follow on Windows 8.
As a quick aside, I've just gone through around 40GB of downloads for different operating systems this month! Linux, OS X, iOS, Android, Windows XP, 7 and now 8 is starting to take it's toll!
