If history is any indication, Windows 8 will be a failure. Why do I say this? Sandwiched between Windows 98 and Windows XP was the horrendous Windows Me. Likewise, sandwiched between Windows XP and Windows 7 was Windows Vista. I believe Windows 8 will follow suit. I think I’ll wait for Windows 9 to upgrade.

I have the same theory about their release schedule. The pattern seems correct.

My office switched to 7 recently, from XP. This included a change to the Office Suite. It is hilarious how many times I find myself staring at the screen looking for a function because they have removed the old drop down choices.
The one thing I like about 7 is the ability to "snap" windows to fit. Of course the program I need that for the most isn't 7 compatible and I am stuck running it in a virtual XP environment.

I've had many PCs (and OSs) since the PC XT.
Have run Vista on multiple PCs for years now and never a problem. Why the thumbs down?

ME was an unmitigated disaster, but Vista was not. I have never understood the intense hatred for Vista. Granted, I picked it up after SP1, but it was just as flawless as 7 has been.
