Based on the usage numbers (i.e.: http://www.zdnet.com/five-reasons-why-windows-8-has-failed-7000012104/ ) Win8 is a colossal failure so far.
What will, if anything, MS do to remedy this?
[poll]
,1 - MS will do a significant and permanent price cut and eventually roll out an optional UI fix
,2 - MS will do a significant and permanent price cut but no UI fix
,3 - MS will release an SP1 containing an option for a more traditional UI
,4 - MS will release a UI fix that is not part of SP1
,5 - MS will release an SP1 but without significant UI changes
,6 - MS will quietly abandon Win8 in favor of "Windows Blue" and there will be no SP1
,7 - MS will quietly abandon Win8 in favor of "Windows Blue" but there will still be an SP1
[/poll]
The above choices should be pretty self explanatory. If you think I missed a likely option, post or IM, and I can append it to the end.
I'd define significant price cut at least 33% or more because 50% would look like a fire sale. Unless noted, assume that the MSRP of Win8 won't change much, if anything at all. Short term promotions and pricing errors ;) don't count. Try to keep posts on topic.
Edit: added numbers for the poll options
