I'm installing it right now. Just agreed to have my info sent to the NSA. Now it's showing pretty colours while it installs my apps. Who else is getting it?

I am officially using Windows 8.1. Installation was painless and took maybe 20-30 minutes.
New Start button sucks but they made the actual Start menu a bit better. I recommend
StartIsBack
if you want a functional start button. I believe after the 30-day trial it will nag at you to activate it, but you don't have to and can keep using it.
They bundle a bunch of new Metro apps with it like Skype and Calculator (why would you use it over the desktop version?) but the majority of them can be uninstalled.
SkyDrive is heavily integrated into 8.1. They ask you if you want to sync all your files and settings to SkyDrive and they put a menu for it in the File Explorer. You can disable most of it, but you can't uninstall the Metro app.
Overall it's pretty much an improvement and it's free so you might as well get it.
@EJ
you can disable the Bing stuff in the settings.

Microsoft haven't even updated the Minesweeper app to take advantage of the different snap sizes yet. You take away desktop Minesweeper, the least you could do is make the Metro version work right with your latest update. smh

Don't forget to delete the Windows.old folder after you finish upgrading. Saved me almost 7 GB.
