I had WinXP for TEN YEARS before switching to Win7. There's no way I'm paying to jump to Win8 a year after buying 7.

I really wouldn't... especially with the metro interface... wait for 9 which will hopefully be better and the same upgrade price! From the looks of it, 8 is another vista, and its the product of the man that brought Windows phone among other failed projects...

There's been too much input into Win 8. It originally started as a streamline OS that can run smoothly on a 1GHz ARM processor. In fact Windows intended the OS to replace Android on tablets.... but that all changed. There's been too many hands in the design and Windows 8 is turning into another Vista with a Windows Mobile 7 look and feel.

Like what Rafterman said... 8's not worth it right now.
You should never argue with idiots, because they will drag you down to their level....then beat you with experience.

40$ is sweet. I will prob buy it just because its so cheap. Although I will drive to mr gates house n kick him on the balls if it doesn't let me switch off the metro interface.

I hope they aren't so dumb as to not allow that switching off.

Actually Gates left. Windows 8 is the brainchild of Gates's failure of a partner

I had a preview of windows 8 last night, it looks like a windows phone layout, it's neat but i don't think I'm going to change OS's any time soon.


I am getting a copy at no cost and I'll load it onto my laptop and see how it goes.

It's nice to have friends in IT that are Microsoft partners :)
