"They are already treating Windows 7 users as second class citizens."

Really? How so? Will I be frisked when I attend the NTSSUG meeting at their facilities tomorrow? Or do I have to open my laptop and show the Windows 8 image running in VMWare to gain entry?

If IE 11 and a few shitty "Formerly known as Metro" apps is the only thing that Windows 7 users are missing, I wouldn't call that discrimination.

Really? Windows 8 is yet to be released, and Microsoft is already delaying product releases for Windows 7. I am already on Win 8, but if I was a Win 7 user, I would be pretty pissed. And going by their track record, in two years they are going to drop support for Win 7 altogether in Internet Explorer and other applications like Windows Movie Maker.
