What do you think of Microsoft's Future of Windows or as a company.

Needs a fifth option: "I refuse to take part in such a poorly-worded poll."

I will buy Windows 8, as the whole "start menu" nonsense is overblown IMHO and 8 is perfectly usable

I am buying Windows 8 and I'm happy with it as it is, because I'm adaptable, as you have to be to use computers. They can't just stay the same forever.

Really? Windows 8 is great, and I will continue to support Microsoft. They have provided excellent software over the years and will continue to do so in the future. If you dislike a single start screen to the point where you'd stop supporting Microsoft, then I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but Windows 8 ain't one.

I want to get the retail version soon to replace the Win8 Preview I've been using. I'm not excited if it is just like Win7.

I'd buy anything good they have to offer! Windows 8 is something that I've been waiting for a long time, something new and fresh, a departure from the old way of doing things. It's going to give life to a whole new breed of apps with rich content and great performance, even on less powerful machines!

What this guy said!
It looks like a pretty cool system, and I love tinkering with new things!
If it sucks completely, I'll downgrade to Win7 and wait for Win9 :D

Of course! I'm psyched for Windows based tablets, Windows Phone 8, and the Xbox.next. The only thing I'm not 100% psyched for is metro on the desktop, however given MS's superb track record with Metro everywhere else, I'm more than willing to give it a chance.

I wont be getting Windows 8, I might check out the surface but I doubt I'll get it, Windows 9 all depends on if we still have this Modern circa 1992 UI going on in Windows 9, if we do then I wont be getting that either, I'll start looking into Linix distros at that point, unless Windows 7 still suits my needs

The way the xbox is going it'll all be ads by then, so who knows what I'll do about that, probably block the ad server in my router
Some ads I'll let slide, but if you abuse it I'll just block them all, try and earn money off that.

I don't know what asshat they have making decisions at Microsoft these days, but they're very short sighted and it'll only come back
to bite them.
