I'm sooooo going to rush out for my new copy of ME Vista Windows 8, I so enjoy throwing my money away on crap software. Has anyone else noticed that Microsoft always makes a good O/S then follows it up with a spectacular flop?

i dunno. i rather like windows 8, god awful metro excluded. there are a number of features that they have finally implemented that will replace numerous third party applications for me. ive been using it for a while and am anxiously awaiting the rtm so i can finally (hopefully) play batman arkham city, as it wont work for me on any of the previews.

I spotted this article that explains the 'benefits' of upgrading to win 8:

I'd only be looking forwarding to about 6 of the 30 'benefits' so I don't know if I will be bothering with Win 8

Considering that my last legal OS was Win XP, and knowing that I can upgrade to Win 8 for only 40 bucks, I might just go for it...

I will probably get it, but I won't run it on my main PC to begin with.

Knowing the Metro UI can be swapped easily for the Aero one we all use, I'm going to upgrade as soon as I see some gaming benchmarks.

W8?

That's really good to hear. I've not been following the Win 8 news n that too much.
