| | By agreement with microsoft every computer manufacturer has to sell the current windows version bundled with their computers, nothing new since the release of windows vista. |

| | I'm watching for downgrade rights. They offered them for XP in Vista. You have a wildly popular OS for desktop experience which is only just coming fully into the mainstream at 3, then want to replace it with a phone GUI for desktop experience? Hello, market forces? Are you there? |

| | I don't think Windows 8 could make a big change considering the report that order of this new OS is not like that Big as Windows 7. I don't see a very big difference on Windows 8 compared to Windows 7. It only added the touch screen capability. |

| | Dell on their USA "Home" website, they offer a choice of Windows 7 and 8. When customizing a new build, one has to be sure to look for the Windows 7 and Windows 8 choices.  If not, your build will default to Windows 8. Windows 7 won't be dead for a very long time. It's just that retailers are going to push Windows 8, as it's touted to be the next big thing.

| | Maybe there is a thread. I read today that MS is saying they sold more copies of Win 8 in X timeframe since its release than Win 7 did in the same period. I find it hard to believe since I would think more people wanted to move from Vista->Win 7 than from Win 7->Win 8. |

| | They`re not gonna advertise a pc and say "Comes with Windows 7", they would just sound silly. Don`t get me wrong, I hate 8  And by the way, Windows 7, was my idea !!   |
