One more small thing...it seems to be the trend in OS's lately to become more 'stupid' and idiot-proof rather than less. I find I want more options for customizing as the years go by. I'm not sure if it's because users are either that stupid or unwilling to bother with their computers, but it should always be an option for experienced power users. After all, a computer is not your average appliance that you can just use and never bother with settings or tweaking like a television or a telephone. And that IMVHO, is the beauty of it ;). It's really sad that Microsoft has chosen this route. I'd much rather be able to tweak to my heart's content than take what I'm given. Maybe I'm just a rebel...hahahahaha.

One thing I definitely do NOT see is businesses migrating to Windows 8. It's just not gonna happen. They'll either have to go back to the pre-Windows 8 model or split the OS's again. I'd have no problem at all with the latter. I'd happily buy the business OS ;).
