Internal testing with Win8, which is still in the casual testing stage of "lets see what breaks" has like 3+ showstoppers for us and a dozen bad but not showstopper issues. XP to 7 had zero.

That's ignoring the metro apps/store nonsense, which I imagine I would just disable outright when we launch with it.

I guess one could argue that 7 wasn't a "real OS" and just Vista SP3. Still, I think 10 took a lot of gambles and wasn't the refined and less tablety Win8 everyone thought it would be. It clearly was rushed to save MS's image.
