Win 8 upgrade is a great way to get "pro" version of an operating system for those WinXP and Win-7 Home boxes that lurk in our corners (and surprisingly, work quite well).
Offer ends Jan 31.
Main advantage for me (if it really is an advantage, since change confuses the staff) is that you can sign on directly to the domain in SBS Essentials.
Otherwise, I can't yet see any advantage to Win8.
Mostly I don't "consume content" -- so I don't care about pushing those little tiles around. Pretty much it is just "creating content" with keyboard and Dragon and mouse. Others obviously use their computers differently.
They took away Chess Titans, and the only FreeCell game on Win 8 is pretty sucky.
No doubt it is safer, faster, more secure -- I just don't notice.
