I like the improved battery life and absolutely smooth performance that it gives on my laptop, and I enjoy the boost in performance in games on my desktop. Just to name a few things.

Windows 8 provides considerable technical improvements such as Direct X 11.1 and superior multimonitor support. I also like that I can make apps for Windows Phone on it - the fact I cannot do this on Windows 7 means that Windows 7 is immediately obsolete for me.

I've been using it since the consumer preview was released in March 2012, and I have not once had problem with it that made me go "I'd rather be on Windows 7".
