> Thus far windows 8 tells me that it is time for me to shift totally to Linux

This is like saying you're going to sell your Toyota because Toyota just released a car that you don't like.

Why all the drama? Just stick to Windows 7, which will be supported for years to come.

If it becomes apparent that your platform is not a good fit then it's better to move sooner than later. That said, if Win8 is enough to put you off, I'm not sure what lies ahead for you on Linux.

I didn't get along with Windows Vista but I quite like Windows 7, I hated OS X 10.7 but I like 10.8.2 again. There must be many examples like this - it's hard to predict what kind of beast Windows 9 will be.
