Well I took the plunge and did the free upgrade which is now running fine on my MacBook Pro under Parallels. Impressions:

1. It's faster than Windows 7
2. If there has ever been a more blatant attempt to disguise corporate data-mining of personal information as an operating system, I'm not aware of it.

I disabled every single "personalization" feature (translation: give Microsoft unfettered access to your data so they can sell it and use it to profile you, then sell those profiles too) and what I have is...

Windows 7.

Just slightly faster with a slightly nicer interface.

The attempts to coerce you into whoring yourself out to Big Data during the install are shameless and frequent during setup. My $0.02? Don't bother. Unless you like spam and being profiled.
