See the thing is Lauren, Microsoft have paid for my house, family car + holidays for over 20 years, so if nobody was bothered with Windows 8, corporates would turn to simplistic opensource options, they'd be no money in programming - let alone IT. So I DO hope Microsoft succeed with Windows 8.

It'd be compared to Vista and people would try to wait for Whine. Nobody is forcing people to upgrade, and the majority will wait until there's a compelling reason to move/dish out the cash.

Not as long as you, apparently (judging by the number of complaints posted by you here).

norm i have no problem with MS succeeding on the desktop ... in fact i agree with what you say as it pays a lot of my bills too ... i just wish they wouldn't throw out their strengths trying to play other people games i guess it's just the same old MS trying to be #1 in *every* market ... sadly they usually f**k up in almost everything outside of windows and office (a few other lately too) but haters gotta hate (and i do hate them as a corporation) :)

Good, I'd probably regret it later if we did.

Nobody bothered... ...to eat breakfast that day? ...to drive on the correct side of the road? ...to use deodorant? ...to respect the laws of physics? I have well thought out answers to all of these but need to know which to provide. My talent must not be used frivolously.

While I see your point and agree it would be sorta funny, regardless of how bad it is there will always be a ton of people who will upgrade to the "latest and greatest" as soon as possible, even if its anything but greatest. Me personally, I made the mistake of upgrading to Vista rather early. I went up to Weven as soon as I could just to get away from Vista. But for W8, I think I will wait that one out for a while and see how the programmers and whatnot like it. I could care less how somebody who only checks FB likes it. I would not be the least bit surprised if 7 became the new xp(people using it for years after it was "outdated".
Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning.
