    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.

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

          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.

            Oh - you mean the rule that states that all odd and even releases will be bloated, unstable pieces of garbage?

              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.

                So do I. But I have trouble with the MS attitude, which seems to be "We got your money, now sod off". I just wish they would listen to the people who use it, and who develop for it rather than the people who say "lets make it look flashier" and concentrate on fixing problems rather than developing new ones for a change. Unfortunately, there seems to be a group for whom MS can do no wrong, and any criticism seems to get met with anonymous down votes rather than discussion. Bit like the Apple fanboise in that way.

                  Yeah - only problem is that seems to be contagious. And when Apple gets your money, they get a lot more for something that is only arguably better. Sure, Apple stuff is pretty slick, but overpriced - because they can.
