I use Windows 8 on oneof my work desktops and it's certainly superior to Win7 in almost every way that I've encountered.
The Win8 desktop is better than the Win7 desktop, and Win8 seems faster in general. I'm only in Metro for brief moments in time. I suspect I'll use Metro more once I get a tablet, but for most users the Win8 desktop is a good upgrade from Win7.
Unlike Vista, there's no perf regression going to Win8. And the user experience in Win8 seems at least as nice as Win7. Seems odd to want to skip it. Especially since you can upgrade to Win8 Pro for $40. My home desktop has Win7 Home Premium which doesn't include Remote Desktop. I look forward to getting Win8 on it and Remote Desktop all for $40.
