Is not going to be quick.  There are too many bugs in the OEM versions
of Windows 8.  I've shelved *any* plans to update my personal systems
so will not have a Windows 8 platform at all.

All interfaces require a driver of some kind and Windows 8 (or some of the
OEM versions of Windows 8) has broken several of the hardware drivers.
Windows 8 is the new "Vista" and will have corporations scrambling to retain
Windows 7.

You also need to make sure that any commercial thing you get is
certified for Windows 8 as there are reports out that some don't
work with Windows 8.

In fact, you need to *avoid Windows 8*.  Windows 8 offers no benefits
for the typical desk/laptop user, has a completely confusing
interface and breaks a lot of hardware.

Yet another reason to avoid commercial interfaces that require a driver.
