Here we go again. Better stock up on the coffee. I dont see the enthusiasm for win 8 that there was for win 7 so maybe the transition will be more gradual.

XP was around for a long time, enthusiasts were longing for a new OS, along came Vista and they clamored back to XP, Win7 was after MS got all their ducks in row and had driver support, program support(of course using the same core as Vista didn't hurt) and it worked without too many issues. But we still see x number of users everyday who want to go back to XP instead of leaning how to use a new OS.
