I didn't say there were no issues
My comments were in regards to all these "supposed" IT pros who make these comments about how they will never ever upgrade, at a time when the product isn't even "finished" and hasn't been officially released as a final product and relatively few people have even had a chance to use it.
I'm sure Windows 8 still needs some work before it is ready for prime time. I'm sure there are and will continue to be issues and it won't suit everyone's needs. I understand that some people are happy with what they have now (whether it be XP, W2K, 98 or even Linux or Mac) and won't feel any desire to buy Windows 8. That's all well and good.
Perhaps you have not been in IT long enough to remember all the people saying they would never ever upgrade to XP, because they were so upset with the changes in the interface, compatibility issues with old hardware/software, and, perhaps most importantly, the fact that XP required "activation," preventing people from buying one copy of Windows and installing it on 20 different computers, like they could with W2K or 9x. How many of those supposed IT pros are still running W2K or 9x, after all their strident claims that they would never ever upgrade to XP? Come on, XP wasn't perfect when it first came out. It had bugs and compatibiliy issues with older software and older hardware. Some people didn't like the new interface, or thought it would be too hard to learn to use. All the same reasons why these supposed IT pros are claiming they will never ever upgrade past Windows 7.
I don't know... I guess the reality is that history repeats itself over and over. People do and say the same stupid things over and over, and very few of us are able to see these patterns. Perhaps you disagree with me because you are one of the masses of a$$es who can't see this pattern. In any case, my comment was specifically about the pattern of behavior, not anything specific about the pros and cons of Windows 8 specifically.
