This will be a convergence OS, so will be the same/similar across all platforms.

So desktop, laptop, phone, tablet will be the same base.

And before someone jumps on the bandwagon, yes I know they are doing what Crapple does

so did i just waste money on 7?

[poita]

nah not at all dude.

besides win xp, windows 7 is the best os you will get

wait until service pack 1 or more with windows 8, as a launch OS is always full of bugs.

i will upgrade no doubt, but im one of those people who always has to have the latest software.

does it look any different, or is it just a slight change to the Aero theme like Vista to 7?
