Its the normal MS cycle - good OS, bad OS, good OS, bad OS. Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.... so the next good OS will be Windows 9. Just have to learn to skip every other OS.
Windows 8 is a clunky windows 7. Just stick with Win 7 like people held out on XP
