Yeah, I'm still wainting too. I've been looking every hour and it still isn't there as of 12:56pm.
Is 8 an upgrade from 7, or do you have to wipe yourself and lose everything?
I don't like the fact that you have to enter the key during the initial setup. I haven't found a way around. It won't let me install it and enter the key later. My plan was to install the OS and then enter the key when I get it on October 26th. This sucks.
Same as before I'd imagine, it will be available, but will cost more.
I installed it on a clean drive. OS upgrades are usually a bad idea.
I'm in the habit of hitting Win-R and/or starting things from a cmd.exe Window, which is more or less the same way I interact with a *nix system.
What I wound up doing to make things easier for myself was to toss a bunch of batch files for the relevant apps in a folder called c:\bin where I usually put handy command line or "orphan" installer-less tools anyway. I copy that folder from system to system where I work and it only takes a second to add it to cmd's path environment variable. Yes, that's a kludge but now that I've done it, I like it better than screwing around with menus anyway.
