Good plan. I agree they have to make a product that will wow people, and get them away from the Apple store :D

Wow, that's true, I've never thought about that. I hope Windows 8 will break 'the chain' and be awesome, but I'm first gonna let my friends buy it and if I like it I'll buy a copy myself.



Agreed. I hope they do a good job.

I think it's more like:
XP: excellent
Vistrash: horrible
7: horrible

so maybe they're due to release something good again.

Well that's where I disagree with you :P

XP: It was good 9 years ago. Let's move on
Vista: should have called it Windows 7 Beta.
7: Best Microsoft OS to date...
