Will Windows 8 overtake Windows 7?

The way they keep trying to force you into the Metro UI is annoying but from my time using it, it is fast.

The speed combined with the cheap cost, I see it gaining some good traction in the market.

It is cool to see them take the Apple route on pricing and there are these options to go back to a more classic Start Menu. Although I have been warming up to the new UI, I just wish you could click and hold the background to flip pages.

With how cheap it is going to be I will get it for sure.

Will be able to upgrade to Win8 Pro for $40 off the desktop.
Will be able to upgrade to Win8 on the laptop for $15.

So 2 Windows 8 installs for just $55, plus I will get to use my Win7 installs on two new machines.

Win for me.

will the win7 keys activate, or will they be listed as "activated"?

That'll be Windows 9

Lang I think you hit the nail right on the head. After all Win 7 is just a cleaned up version of Vista. I really hope they (microsoft) gets **** punched hard enough for them to listen to what customers want in Win 9.

Cocky + sure = dead
