It's the old good-bad-good cycle that Windows have been doing for a while now, I'll skip it until the next one which will basically be 8 but in a way that actually works.

Agree, not going to be a 'pay them' beta tester.

I think the official term for what they (all of them) do is called 'Dynamic Programming'.

Windows 8 suffers the same problems 2000 & Vista did.
A stop gap piece of crap!
And how many problems did Windows 7 introduce along with a better platform for the most part?

If I can have a new OS without the learning curve?
It might be good. But MS just LOVES to screw you all up!!

I'll pass on Windows 8 until it's proven good.
I have my doubts.
