It's ok for my kids that like playing with a big tablet but not even close to Win7 Pro for me
It isn't close. Going back to Windows 7 Ultimate from Windows 8.1 recently was really painful. I don't use tablets or "metro" apps but desktop mode in Windows 8.1 is just better than Windows 7. You just have to get passed the negative press so you can actually use it and see the truth.
People hated 95 then loved it, people hated XP then loved it. Watching people getting manipulated is fun.
