WINDERS 8 MISTAKE should have never been released for PC's.

But what they did was to require the major resellers (Best Buy, Staples, OfficeMax, etc.) to ship back unsold Windows 7 packages as a condition of placing Windows 8 on their shelves.

That means that you cannot just go out and buy Win 7 if you don't like Win 8.x

That's a marketing crime, IMHO.

I look for MS to pull support on 7 soon. Their attitude seems to be you will like what we say you'll like or else. I can understand needed upgrades for security concerns but what MICROCRAP did in W-8 was make a format so dysfunctional for a Desktop or laptop that no one wants it so MICROCRAP is forcing it. I hope they loose their butts on W8.
