You can unpack your suitcase and drop that custody suit, because Microsoft has heard your Windows 8 complaints, and it's willing to change its ways. Yesterday, in a lengthy post on its Building Windows 8 blog, the company acknowledged that it's received plenty of feedback since unleashing a developer preview of the OS last month, and pledged to respond with a number changes. For starters, apps displayed within the Windows 8 App Screen can now be organized into groups, rather than alphabetical arrangements (see image above). Apps will also be displayed at a higher density, thereby cramming more content within the same space. Enterprise users, meanwhile, will be able to customize their companies' Start screens and unify them across networks, though there's still no word on whether administrators will be able to opt out of the software's tiled interface in favor of the more Windows 7-esque Desktop app -- one of the most highly requested features. These are just two of many, relatively granular changes that Microsoft is implementing to help users maximize the efficiency of its new Start screen, and they likely won't be the last.
Haven't read a thing about Windows 8...I think I'm stopping at 7, and dual booting LMDE w/Gnome 3 when it comes out...I can't imagine my OS needs moving further than that, but...If I can get a free copy of 8 when it comes out, like I got a free copy of 7, I may try it...If they stay true to form, 8 will suck ass and 9 will be the one I upgrade to...If 8 is good out of the box, it will be the first time ever that M$ has released two good OS's back to back...

You can always used cracked versions. I paid for Windows 7 Home Premium for my desktop but my Latitude E6400 laptop runs Windows 7 Enterprise that has an activation hack from BIE.
