I have some relatives that desperately need to upgrade from XP, so this sounded good at first. Apparently it's only for OEM giants such as Dell, HP etc. If I could buy OEM copies myself for $15 I'd go get a 3 pack of them right this second.

They really want to push win8 even though they took all that flak from there stupid ideas about metro.
Not happen unless I can completely remove/disable Metro and have work star menu like every OS before it Not resorting to 3rd party hackies changes to fix something that didnt need fixing to begin with.
I didnt switch to Vista for DX10 I sure as hell aint switching to win 8 for dx 11.2. Considering most game still have use DX9 and few that are DX11 are half assed still.
And I sill upset over the fact winxp let use tweak our network much more then vista/win7/8 cause they pretty much automate it

In the grand scheme of things, no one really cares about Aero though.
Adding it back would not help sales, neither would a return of a traditional start menu.
Traditional desktop PC sales will continue to decline as most people no longer want anything but tablets.
On a positive note the gaming side seems to be doing well, but non gaming not so much.

No thanks, I'm sticking with Windows 7. I really don't need anything Windows 8 has, I will never use Metro on a desktop and I want a real Start Menu. Bring those back in Windows 9 and we can talk. The ONLY good thing in Windows 8 is the new task manager, but I can live without that. Maybe if Microsoft gets it right with Windows 9 then I'll consider using that. Maybe.

It not discount for Retail nor OEM Retail only OEM get the deal like Dell, HP, etc, etc so why would give a rats you know what which I don't do because of all trash that get install and cut rate carp parts that they used.
