Microsoft announced that Windows 8 will be launched on October 26th. I still think it will flop. I will stick with MAC until windows 9 comes out.

Out of interest, why do you think it will be a flop? Have you tried it yet?
Have I tried it yet? I never post an opinion about an OS, or APP, without trying it first. Yes, I was a beta tester for it.
There are two things in that will make it flop. They are:
1) The Metro
and
2) The loss of the start button
They set it up where you have to go to hot spots on the screen now. And took things out of it. There is already a wave of people saying that they do not like it. If it isn't the biggest flop since ME, I will be very surprised.

wow, what a great non bias news post.

Exactly what I thought
I personally love Windows 8. I guess had I posted the news article, I would have said "I still think Windows 8 will be a big success, and I'll never use a MAC".

Seems like it's doing relatively well. The reviews are in and folks are warming up to it now they can actually use it and learn how to take advantage of the changes.
