    Gartner is dead right.
    Microsoft will encourage many Desktop users into buying Windows8
    They will go back to Windows7 in droves.

    I'm still trying to figure out Windows7 an now here we go with 8 an aparently it isn't to friendly to us deskto users. Perhaps it is time to learn another operating system besides Microsoft. Ubuntu is starting to look like a good possibility.

    Thanks

    Windows 7 will be with us for a long time. Despite what they claim windows 8 is a reaction to the ipad and is never going to take off with desktop or even laptop users.
