I'm probably unlike a lot of my peers in that I jumped to 8 almost immediately and absolutely loved it.  It took about two weeks to get used to, since a lot of the controls are different.  However, the Metro interface feels a lot more intuitive after you've used it a while and if you aren't constantly doing the shuffle backwards into 7.  What's best about it, though, is the stability.  8 has never crashed on me, and I routinely play with software on my computer like Revit that has wreaked havoc on lesser operating systems.

The best thing to do is to get 8, immediately upgrade to 8.1 (since it'll help ease you into the change) and take the time to learn where everything is.  If you aren't constantly referring back to 7 or earlier, you'll very quickly get everything in order.  Windows 8 would probably have gotten a lot more praise if 90% of us hadn't been using its predecessors since we were kids.

Also, take the time to organize and use the Metro interface.  I can't stress enough how useful it is once you get used to it, especially if you just have one monitor or if you've connected your rig to a large, HD TV.

You know, for people that have done that....  Angel
