I have read and heard many misconceptions about Windows 8. You do not have to own a touch screen monitor to use Windows 8. One can navigate the screens using the mouse without any problem. Also there is the mistaken belief about Windows 8's usability related to the number of available apps. Windows 8 is a full blown OS, i.e. it can run any of millions of available Windows programs that already exist, accounting, business suites and much more. The Apps are coming. Somehow consumers have become convinced that all the database and data entry that is conducted on a daily basis is being entered using iPads and other tablets. The backbone of computing is still desktop computers.
One of the bigger concerns has been the reported disappearance of the desktop. The desktop is still there, the user has the added Metro interface for Apps or the launch of desktop programs if they so choose. The major drawback I have experienced is Internet Explorer 10, as always Microsoft breaks things. Mozilla Firefox is a worthwhile replacement.
The main drawback I see for performing the upgrade, non-Windows 7 users, (XP or Vista users), will have to perform a new install, i.e. they cannot simply upgrade their existing OS. They will have to re-install all their existing applications after first being smart and backing up their data.
