    I tried it now, the last 10 seconds from that vid now ring even more true in my ears!
    And I am truly an anti Apple guy at that!
  2. I'm a very experienced user.

    I love Microsoft products.

    But I cannot use Win8 - the interface is awful and useability 1/10

    Yes I'm a desktop user.

    If Win8 launches without major inprovements - I will not upgrade.

    Looking at Win8 - is the first time I've considered a move to Mac
  3. Really? People are still using XP? Dear lord, you people do need help. Windows 7 is an excellent OS. Do you XP users realize that XP was actually a steaming pile until SP2? Quit living in the dark ages and move on with your lives! I've ran nearly every Microsoft OS since Windows 95 and Windows 7 is really good.
    Now for Windows 8...not so much impressed. I just feel it is far too soon for Microsoft to be introducing an OS, especially one with some BS gimmicks. I would have hoped MS would have learned from ME and Vista, sadly, they have not and history will repeat again. I guess I'll buy a couple of reserve copies of Windows 7 for future builds to at least buy me some time.
    Metro really is a steaming pile of BS though. Same stupid touch pad interface that I have on my Windows Phone, which was a mistake I won't be making in buying again.
