==================
Yuo have a Miniority Opinion amongst most Computer uesrs. Win 8 is a bigger
dog and Win Vista and prerhaps more thne MS Bob.
Here is a bit form a well respected information web site:

 "Back in 1991, Microsoft released their first version of Windows, a
mouse-driven graphical user interface that revolutionized the way we use
computers, both at home and in the workplace.
Now, in 2012, they hope to stage a new revolution with Windows 8, perhaps
Microsoft's most daring release yet. Featuring an unusual tile-based Start
screen that's optimized for touchscreen devices, Windows 8 will be
available on new computers, laptops and ultrabooks, hybrid tablets and even
a new range of Microsoft-branded, iPad-style tablets called Microsoft
Surface. Whichever device you end up running Windows 8 on, you'll need to
know a few things. First, how are you going to get the data from your
current operating system to the new one? Second, you'll probably be
wondering where the famous Microsoft desktop has gone. Finally, you might
be wondering just what is going on: why did Microsoft discard the Start
menu, and why does its replacement look like it was designed for children?" 

And here is another backing down step my MS. THEY seem to be doing that a
lot lately.:

"Estimates vary, but somewhere in the region of 20 to 40 per cent of all
computer users are still running Windows XP. If that doesn't change by next
year, Microsoft faces a nightmare scenario of having to decide whether to
change its support deadline once again or risk a potential security threat
to millions of users.
Businesses Get Windows 8 Upgrade Discount

As part of its effort to encourage upgrades, Microsoft is now offering
significant price discounts to businesses interested in upgrading to the
new Windows 8 OS. Specifically, it's offering 15 per cent off usual prices
to firms that upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8. (Source:
computerworld.com)

The discounts are only valid on the professional (business) editions of the
software. Microsoft also notes that people taking up this offer will be
allowed to "downgrade" from Windows 8 to Windows 7 without extra charge."

NOTE the teaser Upgrade price to Win 8 then offering a FREE go back to Win
7
FACE it Jean Win 8 is NOT well liked"IT WAS A DUMB MOVE" in the Real
Computer World
