Are you seriously suggestion ARM has a chance of replacing traditional CPUs?  If so you're sorely mistaken.  ARM may be heavily embedded into the mobile market (pun intended :) ) but it'll be a cold day in hell before you sit down at a gaming computer that's running on an ARM CPU.

In fact, by the time Windows 8 roles around, Intel's new Medfield Atom should either be out or close to out and it appears to be leveraged to blow existing ARM chips out of the water with higher CPU performance and lower power consumption.

Honestly, there hasn't been anything to really say it would be a good enterprise upgrade.  Heck my company is just NOW rolling out win 7 to the field.  I really don't think they'll be wanting to buy a new OS for a couple of years.

My feel is that Win 8 won't be well accepted (at least on the enterprise side)

Same here. Our users would lynch us if I told them that we had to upgrade their machines again :P
Ghiest: I suggest trying to control your forum torrettes with copious amounts of weed.

KingLeerUK: Right now playing puretech is like riding a bike without a seat; you're putting yourself through some unnecessary discomfort and everyone else on the trail is looking at you funny.

Bill: You're a massive gay. Let's bum.
Deathbane: Let's.

My Youtube channel filled with MWLL awesomeness!

Windows 7 is Vista 2.0.

Take out a feature nobody uses here. Add a new taskbar there. Lower UAC harassment. Sell as new OS.

Been reading articles from 2008 based on the pre-beta, have we?
