As Microsoft releases more details about Windows 8, can't we expect to see a slow-down in Windows 7 upgrades and new pc sales?<p>This is why I think the Macbook Air pricing is so brilliant. They've come into a place where for about 6 months (starting in November) they will have a very strong argument for trying out OSX on some nice hardware at a very competitive price, rather than waiting for Windows 8. Plus you can always get Windows 8 on that machine in a few months.<p>I like my Windows and hope to see some amazing hardware from Acer/Samsung/HP, but I think Apple has a bit of a free ride over the coming months.
