The Mayans may freeze over, but with how cheap it is, I may actually buy Win8. Whether I install it or not will remain to be seen.

I think the only thing that would sway me towards Win 8 would be if there's a significant increase in processing speed due to it supposedly being "lighter". Key word being "significant". Otherwise i'll just run Win7 for the next 11 years like the hardcore XP users
Ditto here. What I'm really waiting for is when the gaming coders fully embrace Linux. Even if they were to use the Steam distribution model. It would be cool to play Doom4 or UT 20xx on Linux. The real stumbling block is a Linux replacement for DirectX......I think the only thing that would sway me towards Win 8 would be if there's a significant increase in processing speed due to it supposedly being "lighter".

Well, I changed my mind. I went to Microsoft's page to take the $39.99 deal to download, but I can't get past their Windows only download program. They obviously have no intention of winning Linux users back or they assume there's nobody out there without a Windows install. I'm not paying an extra $30 for the DVD. I'm not going to install Windows just so I can download another Windows.
I tried using Wine to download it, but that didn't work. Oh well. I saved $40.
