Let's be honest, Windows 8 exists to get the tablet and phone market. It's not made to advance the desktop or laptop market and that's why it has so few changes under the hood but a drastically different interface

You're exactly right about this. I don't know why some people fail to see it.

People like me may sound as if they were failing to see it but the problem is M$ is forcing us to use their "8"...
If they weren't going after the PC crowd - why the f. did they state it would be available for Windows PCs?
Of course, so they can make more money.

They should've kept it for the phones and tablets and touchscreen devices (yet, we have touchscreen PCs...but don't force your bullshit onto every single computer out there - be it touchscreen or not). Because if people want to go back to 7 they will ahve to fucking pay for it just like it happened with Vista - the ones upgrading(yeah, UPgrading) to XP had to pay so they could use an OLDER OS.
