>Is Windows 8 an overview of what Vista was? So far, from what I have heard, only a few satisfy upcoming persons would be when using Windows 8. In the case of Vista, many simply skipped it and went directly to Windows 7. I did it myself. In that particular situation, it ended up to be a very good decision. How are you seeing it?

I know an MVP that said he used it for a month. He just went back to W7 because he thinks that W8 is a real mess.

So far I haven't tested it and I don't really intend to. And I don't think that I'll upgrade my W7 installation with W8. Unless MS gives it to me.

The thing is that I have a really stable OS environment and I'm very pleased with what I have right now.

I guess that our new clients will get W8 because they will get new computers. But I doubt that those using machines with XP, Vista or W7 will upgrade to W8. With an unstable economy people keep their money as long as they can.

But in the end W8 could help W7. Perhaps because of the bad W8 publicity those thinking of upgrading from earlier OSs will decide to upgrade to W7 instead of W8.

So it could be a win win situation for MS.
