If it weren't for Netflix not supporting Linux, I would have already completely jumped ship. More and more games that I have are either on the Amiga, some other old platform, or simply work in wine, or even are native.
Literally the only reason I boot into Windows at all these days is to watch Netflix (which I'm probably canceling after I finish watching Deep Space 9 anyhow) and Video games.
Everyone I've talked to, even ones who love Windows 7, absolutely think Windows 8 is a joke.
Then of course there is the whole smart phone craziness with WP7 not being upgradeable to WP8 which is going to absolutely kill Nokia and any chance Microsoft had to get back into that space.
Unfortunately as most said, the OEMs will just eat it up and make their customers suffer through it.
