No, I won't buy it.

Basically the only reason I bought windows 7 was because windows xp doesn't have dx11 support.....stupid microsoft and their greed.

I'm a tentative no. What I've seen so far isn't really an improvement. With Metro I'll just be trying to find hacks to make it run like Windows 7 and unless there's supposed to be DX12 or something that can't run on the Vista/7 Kernel then why would I bother upgrading? I use OS X and Mint as my daily OSes.
It's not slow...

No, from my understanding it's basically windows 7 with a different UI. I'd never pay for it, but I'd definitely use it for a tablet, just not my rig.
