I don't get MS sometimes. They went bad with Vista, then Windows 7 made things good again, now Windows 8 is like another Vista..

A big problem with Windows 8 was not only the drastic change in interface that no one asked for, but also that it led to such a short lifetime to Windows 7, a popular Windows.  They only gave it 3 years to live, while they gave XP 6 years.  I don't think that sat too well with consumers.

Well they had to do something to compete against the ipad and Android tablets which were beginning to affect Windows sales.
