A couple of questions before I upgrade to W8
Comments

If you haven't used Windows 8 before, then, personnally, I'd recommend you giving Windows 8 a test drive before installing over your current OS.
I shrunk one of my partitions on my laptop to create a new one and then installed Windows 8 as a dual boot (in my case with Vista). There are good instructions here and it went without a glitch.Never let it get you down... unless it really is as bad as it seems.0 -
I've done a few upgrades from Vista too - very impressed with the upgrade speed and stability. And have left clients with enough information for them to be able to go between the classic (using "classic shell") and "metro" interfaces. With some extra memory in a couple of instances the reception has been positive.
PS. the boxed version of the upgrade is still available at many places (e.g. Amazon, Currys) for about £43. I guess when current stocks run out they'll be upto £190.0
