"Well below expectations" Windows 8 sales

Thanks. BTW the only virtual software I've used was Microsoft's Virtual PC. I may give that a try and see if 8 will install on it, if not Virtual Box.

Thanks.

Before you throw $40 at windows 8 try it for free....
Works on VM Ware Player 5 and Workstation 8 and 9. I tried the Betas and the Enterprise version to test drive the OS.

I'll try it out after I pay the 40 bucks for it. I already know I'm going to get it, even if I do try it out. Might as well get it for 40 now than pay 150+ later :)

Plus I already have the preview version, I just never installed it.

I'm also in a position to get it for free, if I could ever get the site (DreamSpark) to recognize my school credentials.

Microsoft please release a SP2 for Windows 7, I'm beginning to get tired with these frequent updates.

Good luck with that one!

Microsoft has no plans for a second Windows 7 Service Pack ? The Register

Thanks for the link Tom :)

It's worse for the OP's and anyone who needs to clean install Windows 7 again; installing every update individually since SP1 would drive me to the limit!

I was in Best Buy yesterday. No signs of Windows 7. All the computers had Windows 8 and the shelf only had Windows 8 boxes.
I still should've asked if they had a copy of Windows 7. I'll update 7, yes it's a pain, but when you're done .
