We have until December 22 2012 for them to release Windows 8 and then it's the end of the world as we know it.

So I can sell the HD I have set aside for Win8, or trade it for a really cool casket

So...when ya get done laughing, wanna buy a HD?
I also have a nice SSD I was saving for Win 9.

I'm think of going with the Sound Blaster option on the casket - I hate quiet.

I will be very honest here. When windows 8 comes out, i will get the boot leg version of it and dual boot with windows 7 :)

Nah everyone knows MS produce one good OS and then a rubbish one and so on and so on. 8 will probably be another Vista flop :)

I think it's gonna be another 8 years for the next good OS.

I wish you would be wrong

8 years is very long time!! I was sick of seeing WinXP for years after years

Hope they will'nt made them sick of seeing Win 7 for 8 years...

I forgot who said it in this forum,about different versions of RC (unofficial) "I have never downloaded so many versions of any os in my life".....those days around March April this year was great...we can hope for such many "leaked" versions of Win 8...

Win 8 RC ver 8100.2010.27.04 ????

Brian, I too feel that it is way too early to talk about a new OS. But forget about the bootlegging, it will get you into hot water. With Linux, you can download and make all the copies for all of your friends that you want. Not so with Windows. And that's part of what makes software costs so much for all of us honest ones. We're paying for the freeloaders. About 20% of Windows software is counterfeit. I myself was a victim of counterfeiting, making a cheap eBay purchase for XP Pro. But I got my money back, thanks to eBay's anti-counterfeit policy. You probably was joking, and your apology is accepted. But the joke wasn't funny, and because of "bootlegging", we're all paying more than we should have to.
