So Microsoft wants people to pay money to become a beta tester? Pass! I have yet to see a single product from Microsoft that is bug free. I don't belive windows 8 will be the exception. Remember windows millennium and vista.

Funny, I have had Windows 8 Enterprise for two months now. This shit is still "coming out"??! Weird, we have sold Professional and Enterprise a few times.

I got it working on my iPad 3 and loving it, like some people say its made for a tablet and actually most HiTec companies still use windows XP not 7.

The reports online (Win7Vista) are that even among the beta testers, the majority have NO plans to upgrade, preferring to stick with Windows 7. I hate to suggest it, but with no real reason to upgrade since it's mostly based on 'tablets', this may become MS's next Vista!
