^ It is estimated that as many as 80% of businesses will never migrate to Win8. Granted a lot of businesses aren't going to buy one copy at a time, but a lot of individuals do have similar needs to businesses.
I've tried windows 8, I'm sticking with 7. Can't stand the user interface downgrade. Actually, if the start menu weren't full screen only, I wouldn't have as much problem with it, but it is, so I do.
windows 8 is out so why buy windows 7.

Just install classic shell on Windows 8. Just google it. Now you can have both the classic start menu and the new interface.

Typical Mircrosoft... Windows95 whatever we didn't know much... 98 - good, 2000Me - bad, Xp - good, Vista - Bad, Win7 - good, Win8.... see the trend.
Win 2000 was the best ever, they just let it slide when it came to supporting new hardware/tech.
