So I wouldn't be surprised if win8 and win9 look very close but people will actually be able to stand win9.

At the same time I think all these companies need to follow the Linux business model and make their OS free.. Apple seems to be doing a decent job with that.

Apple gives you free OS upgrades, but only after you've bought their Mac or Macbook which is like three times more expensive than a normal PC. Honestly, Apple is a horrible example for something like this, also, unlike Linux, OSX is not open source.

This is not exactly true, a BIG part of iOS and OS X is actually open source, and can be found on Apple's website.

I use Windows 8.1 on my desktop, but I also have Ubuntu installed on my laptop. For those of you using Windows 8 and want the start menu back, here is a link: http://classicshell.sourceforge.net
