Wow, that's true, I've never thought about that. I hope Windows 8 will break 'the chain' and be awesome, but I'm first gonna let my friends buy it and if I like it I'll buy a copy myself.

Agreed. I hope they do a good job.

Anyone wanna try out the Windows 8 developer preview edition?

Based on the screenshots of the current pre-release versions, that's what I think

I think it's more like:
XP: excellent
Vistrash: horrible
7: horrible

so maybe they're due to release something good again.

Well that's where I disagree with you

XP: It was good 9 years ago. Let's move on
Vista: should have called it Windows 7 Beta.
7: Best Microsoft OS to date...

I'm going to try out Windows 8 preview edition in VirtualBox in 5 hours.

Lol. I'm going to download it at school tomorrow. There we have fast enough internet...somebody else was doing it today, and it download in like 10 minutes...awesome!

80Mbps+! That's incredibly fast! Current download speed here is 283.23KB/s as I type this. The download will be finished in about 3 hours.
