    Re: Who's gonna upgrade?

    Where did you get Windows 7 for $39? I got the $49 special pre order. Not that I'm complaining.

    I don't know if I will upgrade. There would need to be a significant reason. I'm not interested in the Metro UI. When the beta comes out, I'll give it a shot on my netbook. It struggles to run Windows 7 Starter. If they can keep the ram usage where it is, it may be worth the upgrade. Although Ubuntu runs real well on it. Who knows, maybe they will surprise me.

    Re: Who's gonna upgrade?

    Downloaded and installed Win 8 Dev Preview 64 Bit version with tools in Virtual Box on my Win 7 Ultimate laptop. Am slowly learning the navigation of the new OS. This is a marked change over Win 7. The Metro apps will take some getting used to. I have found that some apps that work well in Win 7 also work with Win 8. I have installed Win Live mail 2011 that works reasonably well. I also have MSE installed which also seems to work well. Since this is a very early preview edition, many other things are not operational, but it is nice to be able to learn my way around before the beta, then RC.

    I'll be trying anymore Alpha's that may get pushed out one way or another, beta's that will follow then the RC and RTM.. Hopefully each one goes as well as they did with Windows 7.. Let's not have another 'Longhorn' episode..
