This. Most people didn’t transition to 8 from 7 because 7 was so good. But 8 was also good it was just different. There also wasn’t a huge push. But 8 did a great job setting the stage for 10. 8 was still decent, it had its flaws but in my mind it was like the beta to 10.

8 was awful. 8.1 was much less awful and actually set the stage for 10.
