I just laid out $$$ for W7 64 Ultimate on a new desktop, have two notebooks with W7 32-bit, another desktop and a notebook running XP and another notebook running Vista. There is no way I am going to just set all that software aside to go to W8. This constant built-in obsolescence and cramming new OSs down our throats has gone too far. My next purchase will probably be a Mac, or I may go to Linux.
