Very heavy handed on Microsoft's part. :(   So far, I have tried=20
unsuccessfully 4 times to get the install done. If you can say anything=20
good, Go back to store and select the upgrade, doesn't need to do that=20
long download, and then after failure, it does restore the 8.0, but you=20
are without the machine for an hour or so. From what I find, having up=20
to date drivers is important, but I have hardware that doesn't have 8=20
drivers, including the Supermicro C2SPB-Q motherboard with dual core=20
pentium 3.1g CPU. Going to try first starting in safe mode with network,=20
and then strip hardware down to minimum.  I have seen online, drivers in=20
particular Nvidia can be issues. Many are having problems. Ubuntu 12.04=20
installs quickly and runs good, but I have several apps that are windows=20
only. :(
