    I just upgraded from Window XP to WIndows 7 now you want to tell me you're planning windows 8 already with in the year? It's not like windows seven is another vista, it's a solid OS and is remarkably stable, why do I want Windows 8?

    What you've never heard of the every other windows curse? It''s like the star trek movie curse

    Win 2k was great
    Win Me Sucked balls
    Win Xp was pretty good
    Win Vista was smoking crack
    Win 7 is usable
