Will let you know how it goes.
Wasn't going to mess with it, but when I need a new laptop it will have to be Win 8 so figure I better learn it. Also, I game a little on the Xbox and they have integrated things abit in Win 8. Also, when we move we will need new phones. Currently we have basic phones from Verizon. Verizon doesn't work for shit where we are moving to. As a matter of fact AT&T is our only real choice. We figure we will move up to smart phones. I figure if I like Win 8, I might as well get Win8 phones.
Already sold my soul to this devil so see no sense it selling to to another.

Why will it have to be? Microsoft has promised support for Win 7 well into 2020, so there's every possibility that people will simply opt not to move to Win 8. I recall in the Vista days, they kept selling Win XP installs for years.
Because anything new will be loaded with 8. Microsoft is betting the farm on 8. They won't be wanting their licensees selling 7 much longer. That being said there is going to be a learning curve for 8, but looks like it is a bit snappier than 7.
If you do, then you should find it significant that I would recommend an Android handset over the Windows phone.
How can you make recommendation against something that does not exist yet? Win 8 for phones won't be released till this week. A closed mind is not a good thing. Not to sound insulting, but I find little you say significant.

Not to sound insulting, but that's probably because you're an idiot.
I rest my case. You are incapable of considering anything then what you have already decided. Having any conversation with you is worthless because you only see black and white.
How about moving on and taking your abuse to other threads.
There will never be any such thing as a phone running Windows 8.
No shit. They are releasing a new phone operating system.
Why would you expect to use your tablet and phone and desktop in the same way?
Do you think people do? Some commonality would be nice.
What problem is Microsoft trying to solve?
Not sure they are trying to solve a problem, but trying to move forward. As they are losing market share they had to do something than the same old old. If they had released something similat to 7 market share would have continued to drop and they would have been attacked for not being innovative. Now that they have made a major change they are being attacked for what??
The market may not accept 8. Then again they may. I don't think anyone can tell, not even the far seeing extremely always correct Crashfrog.
Oh and anyone can cherry pick benchmarks.
Benchmark testing suggests that Windows 8 is Microsoft's fastest Windows to date.
There's little to no difference on gaming performance between the two operating systems.
