I have only one question:

Are there any benchmarks (dualboot on the same machine) of Win7 compared to Win8 side by side???

Things that interest me in particular, boot up time, performance in various programs (when did apps become the 'new' in-thing anyway?) and load times.

The only possible reason why I would upgrade to Win8 is if it were faster then Win7 AND I could be certain that there were no restrictions on which programs (apps if you like) I could run on my machine.

I remember seeing an article, but I don't remember where.
