Neither did I. I used a bootable flash drive. But windows requires a working CD drive to install. Hopefully Wozzy PMs me the work around.

Awesome. Thanks for still looking into this. I was pissed as hell when the install cancelled because the CD drive doesn't function. Lol.

Its actually a universal OS for Tablets,phones & laptops/towers Hence the UI they chose

That's all well and good, but I see no place for 8 in a professional/corporate environment. I keep coming back to the thought that unless your sole purpose of using 8 is updating your social network sites, there's not much for you here.

I think 7 is going to be the new XP in the professional world, once companies have actually migrated to 7. We'll see it sticking around for several years, probably see a couple more service packs...then MS may offer something again with a more professional feel.

I don't mean to sound harsh but I really don't feel a very professional vibe from 8.

I guess you didn't notice that you don't have to use the live tiles? There's a standard interface that you can access instead. I'm not much for the live tiles either.
