Windows 7 64bit is solid and the best Windows OS I've used and is supported until 2020 so why will I bother upgrading.


Edit
Microsoft wants beta testers and they earn money at the same time.

Hmm I don't think win 8 will be bad in the same way vista was...

with that said, the UI is more for that of a touch screen thing...like a tablet... ( why MS why??? -_-)

i guess its a good deal, but personally na...
 
I do think Microsoft should add start menu and disabled UI in the add/remove features for desktop/gaming pc surely ? I think Microsoft don't care to listen to customers, then don't buy it! That's Microsoft biggest loss!

Me - Windows 7 until 2020! Then change to OCUK operating system ! :)
