I have been using it since RTM came out a couple months ago. I had some teething problems initially but I have enjoyed it since then. The lack of a start bar is a bit weird in the beginning but you get used to it.

Thats instore, you can buy online from M$ for about R350

I assume thats if you are upgrading from Win 7? Can you go straight from XP to Win 8 or does the HDD get a full format?

I think your HDD does get formated. A M$ upgrade often requires a clean install
