I've tried it, it is okay. If I do make the switch it will be perhaps in 6 months to a year when drivers and things like that have matured as well. Microsoft hasn't provided me anything groundbreaking with their new O/S, so I have no reason to change at this time.

Already upgraded and using it. Nothing really special but I love playing with new software.
