What M$ is doing IMO, is trying to convince us that we need rims with spinners for our wheels when we don't need or want them.

If M$ wants us to all go to Win8 when we've all just got onto Win7, they will have to lower their prices considerably or incorperate some new features that we actually need. They are not re-inventing the wheel. Windows still does what Windows always has done, but lately it has gotten way to fancy for it's own good. Note what I said about the spinners. The wheel still rolls, but we do not need wheels that glitter, we need wheels that do their job! That is why people still love XP.
