[Clive]

We may all grow to love it, but Microsoft痴 radical operating system redesign will require some painful adjustments.

I bet it can be made to look like Windows 7.

Of course, Microshaft has a track record of following up a good operating system with a $hit one:

Windows 3.1 - Good in its day - followed by Windows 95 which was ghastly.

Windows 98SE - Good in its day - followed by Windows ME.  My four year old granddaughter could have done better.

Windows XP - Probably the best they've built - followed by Windows Vista which was truly appalling.

Windows 7 - Very good.

Therefore, it is as near as damn it 100% certain that Windows 8 will be a pathetic heap of $hit.

I won't hate it, as I won't go near it.

I think my next upgrade will be to Windows 7, and I'll probably stick with it.  That's when the death knell is finally rung for XP.

Same here Simon,just wondering how long Ican hang on to XP

As long as possible...

XP is most definitely the best.  Win 7 is very good but it can sometimes be difficult to find your way around it if you are trying to sort out a problem.  I will be buying a new machine before Win 8 comes out.

Same here, Clive. I don't like an OS that makes it difficult for me to do what I want.
