I have it on 2 laptops, 2 desktops, and a tablet so far.

Will use for a week or two then start slowly rolling out at the office.

I don't see it as that big of a change, but I never really hated on 8 like some people did.

There are few little tiny things that for me are huge annoyances:

Focus isn't always set correctly, for instance, launching the calculator lets me type sometimes, others not until I click on it. This also happens at random when opening new tabs in Edge.

Edge is a modern app, so I'm not able to right click and launch more instances of it like I do with everything else, I have to use tabs then break them off, extra step.

Some of the flat UI that got bigger on the PCs actually got smaller and more finicky to hit on the tablet. The Start menu also was better in 8.1 on the tablet.

I know the charms bar didn't catch on, but I thought it was okay, and the new notification center is pretty cluttered in comparison.
