      Just ignore it... According to the odd-even rule, Windows 8 will be a bloated, unstable piece of garbage... Windows 9 might be good.

                  Yeah, Nemesis was supposed to be good, and it was mediocre... The reboot was supposed to be horrible, but it was actually really good. So I think Nemesis reversed the polarity by rerouting phaser control through the main deflector, or sending a tachyon pulse through-- LeVar Burton is so much better at this...

                          Wait, using MS's consistent naming scheme, shouldn't the next version be named one of the following? Windows 8.5 Windows 2013 Windows TNG 3.11 Windows YOU Windows NT 7.0 Windows Vista 3 In other words, ANYTHING but "Windows 8."

                            Did I miss something, I thought Vista was version 6 and the one after was 6.1 (often referred to as 7). I haven't figured out their(MS) rounding rules. AFAIK 0.4 rounds down, and 0.5 rounds up. /me being slightly confused.

                              Wow - what a pointless article regurgitating mindless nothings, ending on a highlight of "let's make fun of Vista". In other words, they don't actually know anything, but just wanted a headline that had Windows 8 in it.

                                You got it - of course there's going to be a Windows 8 (under same name). What we have here is an example of the "We were first" syndrome.

                                      Going by the fact that the chinese are obsessed with the number 8, i think there will be massive uptake by them. Ok, they might all be pirated copies, but they will jump at the chance to install it.

                                          Thanks. Fact is, I sorta like Windows - prolly due to familiarity. I've been playing with a Mac lately and have been struggling. Some things are nice, others are infuriating (for me). I mean, come on, no delete key? I'm having trouble getting over that one.
