I'm almost disappointed, because that means I shouldn't buy a Win8 tablet and wait until 9 comes out.Looks like Windows 8 is about done...on to Windows 9!
Microsoft Scraps Windows 8 Major Updates. Bets The Farm On Windows 9 - Forbes
I know you're trying to troll, but while Win 8 was simply unfinished. On tablets and phones it works very, very well. That said, the UI simply does NOT function well for desktops. The commands and gestures that are a flick of the finger are a long obnoxious scroll away. If you have two monitors, you have to shimmy the mouse into exactly the right spot between the two monitors to get the context menu up. For 2012 Server, it's just obnoxious. I don't mind the updates they did to the server page, but the start menu drives me bananas. Instead of being able to organize shortcuts to Powershell scripts, specific applications with elevated privileges or a command switch, I have to just drop everything to the desktop or go through Windows explorer, which is STILL frustrating because half of those things are buried 12 directories deep. Just obnoxious.RIP windows 8. Taken from us too soon by pathetic nerds who rage against progress and improvement.

It's where the consumer OS platform is heading.Huh. I've been using Win 8 as my primary OS for the last ~10 months after using Linux for a few years straight. I've never used the app store and had completely forgotten that it even exists until you reminded me. Has anyone ever actually used it on an x86 computer?
While I've never used the Microsoft app store on my desktop PC, I do use an app store pretty much daily(Steam). If the Windows app store were run like Steam with regular sales & bundles, I'd probably use it.Huh.
