Wasn't Windows 7 released approximately last week? Why should people upgrade yet again? Furthermore, this looks terrible.
One can only hope that Windows 8 leads to a few more people checking out Ubuntu (linux), it's free, easy to install and use, and faster than Windows (less overhead). And you can even use Windows programs under Ubuntu if required (there's an awesome tool called Wine for that). Give it a try if you haven't already; in order to test Ubuntu you can even install (and uninstall) it under Windows, just like a regular program (of course it's not as fast that way).

Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360
