I see no benefits for myself or my work. Just little nuisances that cumulatively amount to another big "forget it".
So, the upgrade is relatively inexpensive, but paying for something that one neither needs nor want is no bargain.
MS can keep "8", and I don't see why I "should get used" to features which are pretty useless on a desk top or laptop and often time wasters.
I want to work with my computers, not be a part of an experiment in GUIs.
I go back to the Mini Computers, the S-100 bus and CP/M. We saw them come and go, with mostly, a sense of continuity. "8" is a total departure from the \familiar without a compensatory increase in usability.
