I also have been experimenting with Windows 8, both on my home PC as well as with various friends tablets and touchscreen netbooks. Although I got used to them enough to make things workable, I kept wishing it was Windows 7... so I just bought an inexpensive netbook that runs Windows 7, as I imagine they'll soon be hard (and/or more expensive) to come by.
