Will it sell like hotcakes? Absolutely. There's no reason for it not to, Microsoft are moving with the times, and adapting their product for the fastest growing demographic; the smartphone/tablet audience.

Does this make Windows 8 good? Absolutely not. Microsoft have abandoned the PC and laptop audience, who have been loyal to them for the past 25 years of Windows operating systems. The smartphone/tablet audience is young and fickle, and will be willing to boycott Windows at the drop of a hat if the service isn't top notch. While it will make Windows more money, it is disappointing to see them neglect their long time fan base.

With Windows doing this, and Macs being... Macs, now is a better time than ever to switch to Linux.

Alhtough the new style is different from the traditional Microsoft Windows, it will probably be much more effective and efficient use of the computer as time goes by.

Hey man, you're outdated. Go to the newsletter of Apple, etc. Experts have already expressed their views for it. It IS a disaster. Though it has some extraordinary features like Gatekeeper Security, etc. , it has much more disastrous features. It has many new changes, which are expected not to suit mobile professionals who are always on the go and have already become accustomed to WindowsXP and Windows7, etc.

I work in computer retail and have seen first-hand how Windows 8 works. it is already confusing our customers, who prefer the straightforward Win7 look, and it doesn't recover well from errors (the power to the laptops cuts out automatically every night- without giving them the chance to shut down. The Win7 laptops recover from this easily despite it happening every day for several months. The Win8 laptops have serious problems after a few days).

Not sure how long you have been in retail, but I wonder if there was as confusion with Windows 8 compared to the visionary Windows 95.

Again, it will take time for consumers to readjust to the new format, and I think Windows 8 will be for the better.

It's completely useless on desktop. I don't know why icons have to be sized as postcards. I'm not blind.
