Does anybody have Windows 8?

I just got a new computer running Windows 7, and I've not had much experience with Windows 8, although I don't like what I've seen of it, but anyway, a question for those who have it, how is it? Is it a good OS? What are the good features? What are the bad?

    I like it way better it has the crispness of the start menu but it also has the desktop that all the previous windows have. I also like how in the games app you can check you XBL friends list, edit your profile and I'm pretty sure you can send messages from it too. Also if you bought any movies or TV shows on your Xbox you can also watch them on your PC. Also on a side note the travel app is pretty amazing it has so much detail about places around the world. And with the messenger app you can link your Facebook and your other social media sites to it and talk to everyone from one app but I haven't used it much. Three complaints that I can think of are one being once you link your windows live ID it overrides your current user password with your email password but there might be a way to change it. Second is that organizing the start menu can be kinda frustrating it reminds me of trying to organize apps on my iPhone. But I like how you can group icons and make certain ones bigger or smaller. And I also find that I don't really find the apps from the store useful EG. The having the newegg app when I could just go to the website or the Skype app when I could just minimize the downloadable version and talk to my friends while doing something else. I haven't found any useful apps so far. And I don't think you can search for apps in the store.
