There is no reason to wait. Most of what we hear about new features in Blue is speculation. There are many advantages in Win8 now
over Win7, including better built-in security, better memory management, and improved performance. Task manager updates alone are worth the price.

But live tiles are nothing like Win3 icons. You care write applications that update them in real time.

>Yes, it is a shared opinion with many persons involved in the business everytime we talk about it. :) But, of course, 20 years later, the engine would be different. In a sense, I am in favor of it. But, it took a while to see it as I see it today. I still haven't purchased the ultrathin BTW. But, it is not because this is delivered with Win 8 but because I am waiting for Win 8 R2, which has been announced with many adjustments, and also for funding. :)
