I hope MS will up there release schedule just like Apple and Ubuntu. When OSX first landed most people didn't like it at all. But every year it was a bit better and at least since 10.4 one of the best if not the best desktop OS. Same thing go's for Ubuntu, the first incarnation of Unity was not good . But 12.04 is a really usable OS and for me (since I don't use OSX specific software) perfectly fine replacement for OSX. I'm really excited to see where they are going with it. So if MS is serious about there new desktop they should release a new version at least once a year. Perhaps they will need a LTS strategy for the Enterprise starting with windows 7. So by the time windows 8.4 comes a long Metro is matured and most workers will know how to use is.
