I wish I had not seen this post and purchased PSE 8!!! :( I was upgrading from PSE 7 on Win 7 x64.
1. There is no upgrade program (I've been using PSE 5, 6, and 7). I have to buy a full new version every time :(
2. The purchase and download process was painful. Started in Firefox, continued in Chome, tried IE, and tehn completed in Firefox. Had to install new version of Java and had to install Adobe Downloader. One of the most frustrating "purchase and download" processes ever!
3. After installing PSE 8, I found that it was frequently slowing down -- it is way slower than PSE 7. I don't know if it's cataloging/indexing but it told me that it's conversion of my catalog was done.
4. It has a "great new feature" of face recognition. It's implementation sucks. It doesn't even find all the faces in the pictures (even when there's only two); thinks mugs, dresses, etc. are faces; can't recognize a face in another photo that was taken 2 seconds later than the first; ... What good is this upgrade???
5. Decided that I wanted to report my awful upgrade experience to Adobe. I wasted 15 minutes trying to do that!! They obviously do not want any feedback!!!
6. There is no 64-bit version of PSE!! Adobe has it for Lightroom and others. Why can't they do it for PSE.
I guess it's time to seriously consider an alternative to PSE and get my money back. It looks like my primary alternatives are Picasa, Paint.NET and GIMP. I'm just and amateur/family photographer with 11,000 pictures. Any feedback appreciated.

Go with GIMP.
