What Is Windows Blue? Should I Wait For It Or Get Windows 8?

Solution
You will always get updates regardless.

Windows Blue is again I quote:

"Windows Blue is an envelope of simultaneous, incremental updates"

Meaning it is just the schedule for keeping this software updated. You will receive updates as other OS's in the same Windows Blue schedule

Windows Blue is the updating schedule Microsoft uses to manage which OS's get updates and for how long they are supported.

Windows 8 is under the same schedule from what I understand. Microsoft is debating weather or not to include a boot-to-desktop option. I personally don't like Windows 8 for my main computing. But would like it only with a touchscreen for a HTPC.

Someone please correct me or add to it

Too bad because I feel they really should ease people into it more instead of forcing customers to spend time figuring out everything, atleast force it on Windows 9 then but let people check it out for now. It isn't for business. Sales people I can see that being powerful tool but for engineers, analyst and designers even I could see it being just a hassle to discover the Metro UI.
