LOL, I am not an apple fanboy at all, can’t stand those whiners, but you are selling only 33% more of an OS that has an installed base of 12x more? And this is a “Victory”? Did we stop teaching fractions in school the last two decades?

No spin parts.

Windows 8.
Windows has a far higher market share than does
Mac OS X. Net Applications reports that Windows has a 91.7% market share, compared to
a 7.2% market share for Mac OS X. That means
that a far smaller percentsge of Windows users
upgraded to Windows 8 in its first few days than
did Mac users who upgraded to Mountain Lion in
its first few days.

I downloaded Windows 8 on to my desktop. It sucks.

I am hoping it will be better on the tablet. I hate to admit it but the Surface looks great.

It applies to both Apple and MS: I don’t think you should go around thumbs-upping how great it is that everyone’s ditching your old crap for your new crap.

I think MS jumped the gun on Windows 8. Windows 7 only has been out a few years. I was very hesitant to move from XP to 7 and only did so when a new laptop came with it installed.

I simply do not have time for a "learning curve" since my PC is my job. I love Windows 7 and see no possible reason to upgrade to 8 at this time or anytime soon.

I upgraded to Windows 8 for the $15 offer.

With one simple change, it is working great:

“Classic Start” skips the lock and metro screens, taking you straight to desktop on boot. Provides a classic start menu also.

I have yet to use metro for anything, I’ll try it later.

Security firm VUPEN claims to have hacked Windows 8 and IE10

Of course, Lion was pretty buggy.

I bought Win8 for one reason only,for my Samsung Slate. Now I can pinch and flick with the best of any Ipad. Also now I can’t use my medical EHR, have to click and flick to get a keyboard on my screen, that keyboard(locked in place to lower 1/2 of display) is so big and does not move to uncover your typing field so you are guessing what keys you are hitting and now youtube,netflix nor hulu are working.

Other than that I am happier than a pig in shite.

Buy what you like and like what you buy. Thats what makes America Great !

I won’t ever buy another Windows based product now that I swithced to Apple. I used Windows for years but I have gone 3 years with not a single glitch and no McCaffe or Norton anti virus. No annoying updates, security patches and constant virus warnings.

But people get to spend their hard earned money as they please.

Suckers !
