Windows 8 Is Coming in 2012

I was SO reluctant to get Win 7 at first, only cause of my mastery of Win XP and I honestly thought it was another "phase" but then I heard they were going to no longer do the updates for XP next year? and for the fact that I needed more ram to play SWTOR more efficiently so went ahead and invested.. I love it.. but it's something I'll stick with until they no longer put out updates for.. my gameplay is forever changing lol so will always need to improve lol I am such a geek
