They said the same thing about XP
XP was looked at the same way in 2001. So, why do we have a hard time adapting to change? You guys can flame all you want, but it's going to happen. You can adapt or stay behind, your choice.
Here's my take on 8. It may not be on the level with XP, but it is a step in the right direction. I think Microsoft has it right to integrate an OS with all systems whether it be dekstop, tablet or phone. Is it perfect? No, but it is where we are going.
That said, I think the ultimate goal of Windows 8 is to at least get everyone to Windows 7 and off of XP and being a gateway to future iterations of Windows that will integrate more seamlessly between devices.
