What will you gain? A free upgrade from the

already-excellent-apart-from-the-UI-when-on-non-touch-devices Windows

8.1.

> Windows Media Center

No loss there.

> the card game Hearts

Hardly a show-stopper.

> and Windows 7's desktop gadgets

Which nobody uses.

> Anyone in the habit of using floppy disks on Windows will also have to install new drivers

Surely not a big deal for the very few use-cases there still are.

> and Microsoft warns that watching DVDs will also require "separate playback software."

Doesn't everyone just use VLC anyway?
