Win8 may or may not take the tablet world. For tablets, it actually may be good. Question is do I need a tablet? And the answer is: no, not at all. But the claim by MS that all desktop computing will move to mobile, just makes me hysterically giggling. I just say: companies, offices. Gamers, powergamers. State offices and services, and their networks, tending to be very conservative. Microsoft made such a prediction error several times in the past, last was when it claimed that all gaming would move from PC to consoles. But although games adapt more and more to console design and menus, gaming on PC, especially of course simulation content, remains to be strong on the PC. It is in no way dying.

I think Windows 7 will remain to be around for a very very long time to come. And that is good, since I believe it is a very good OS. Using it myself, x64 and Pro.
