Microsoft's marketing strategy is very clear to me now, they know they have a goldmine on their hands with windows 7 so they are peddling this POS windows 8 to turn windows 7 into the new windows XP in the sense that people will use windows 7 for years and years to come giving microsoft enough time to create windows 9!
This is clearly a long term strategy aimed at destroying the remaining XP/vista userbase and ushering them onto windows 7.
By the time windows 9 is ready 95% of all windows pc's will be windows 7 and they will call windows 9, windows eX or windows technicolor or windows porridge, it will not use a number and will therefore seem shiny and new enticing the windows 7 population to upgrade. This OS is the real deal for people looking to upgrade from windows 7, looks like its a ways off though.
