Only run the TP on a spare machine, especially if like me, you're on the fast ring. There are several bugs, only some of which have workarounds. It is however fun to find the new features and play with them, but sometimes quite frustrating.
The only reason not to upgrade I can see is if you have a device like a printer, where the maker does not support the new OS. I have an HP printer/scanner which is not fully supported under Windows 8, so I upgraded an old XP computer to Windows 7 and that will see out its life on W7.
Everything else will be upgraded; there are just far too many new and useful features, and far too many gains from increased integration of the OSs for it to be rational to stay on 7 or 8.
