It would help if they still gave huge discounts for needed software. I remember when universities would give corp Microsoft products for 10 bucks, including XP Pro. Now they are like 10 bucks less than buying straight from Microsoft.

Why? I agree, because the metro interface looks terrible, but the improvements that they have made to the desktop interface look solid.

I've been using windows 8 rtm for the past 2 months too, it's really an improvement everywhere but metro. metro isn't even that bad honestly once you remove the tons of shitty apps it has default pinned (it is by no means better than the start menu though). The menus that come up from hovering on corners is unbearable though, I had to find a registry edit to remove those. Native support for iso mounting and a lot of added support for dual monitors (aka not having to install ultramon) are probably the 2 most convenient changes I've run into thus far.

Some schools do. I've gotten MS Office, Windows, and other programs for free, and my school is on that list anyway. It's easier to just pirate things anyway because it's a pain in the ass to get another key when you reformat or get a new hard drive.

Start menu for the weird side bar system/touchscreen like OS. I'm sure there's going to be a way to make windows 7 like windows 8, but I'd prefer it just be there right away. My windows 7 is hardly customized aside from programs anyways.

Blew my mind when I found out I could just mount iso instead of having to download deamon. I really like metro over the old start menu after using it for awhile. Imo, it's like the start menu you wish you had because you can customize it to however you want. I disliked all the useless/extra stuff on the old start menu a lot that I never clicked ever.
