Microsoft to provide cheap upgrade path to Win 8 for new PC buyers

"if microsoft fails to sell enough copies, then windows OS is done."

No, they will just change the name in 6 months and sell it again, like they did with Vista/Windows 7.

For those who did not know Windows & is just Vista Sp1. But you will probably just deny it, cause you love Microsoft and know they would not do that just to get your money.

I have a Windows 7 machine. It's better than any other OS because: it allows me to do what I need to do as effortlessly as possible; it is ubiquitous; its secure; and its efficient.

Your post, even with the obvious lack of factual support, does nothing to prove otherwise. It could be Vista 2.0, but that still doesn't take away the fact it works, and very well.
 
True. Bashing 8 won't be helpful. It can (as we're seeing) end up better than 7.
But either way, I'm more than happy w/ Linux, and am sticking to it until they do something stupid.
 
I was running on Windows 7 Home Premium which came installed with my HP PC purchased in 2010. I run small home businesses ie. Ebay, Gumtree, Quicksales etc. I do all my work, banking, socializing and everything else on my PC so I have a fair idea what I am talking about. In early March this year I downloaded Windows 8 Consumer Preview Evaluation Copy Build 8250. I can honestly say that apart from a few early teething problems which now have all been ironed out the platform is running beautifully. I will be downloading the final Beta version of Windows 8 in early June.
