Microsoft has "no plan" to release DirectX 11.1 for Windows 7

I think you are lying or you think user selection screen is considered fully booted.

My windows 8 boots in <10 sec on a ssd

Metro is superior to the start menu

The desktop appears when you click on the desktop icon or even iexplorer or office. Metro is not pervasive; it is actually slick. Smaller, faster, cheaper. What more can you ask for. A dinner and a movie for two will cost twice as much as windows 8.

Mine boots in 13 seconds on an SSD. I couldn't agree with you more. If I want the same feel as W7 I toggle to the desktop. My only beef with Metro is it's always full screen which is a bit much on a 30".

it's pretty much why everyone hates it. I can handle the bad mouse and keyboard controls, but the fullscreen on "windows" is what's so annoying. the only time I use metro is when I search and I don't like it at all.
I used to use the start menu to check on what files I've used in the past with certain programs, now I can't do that anymore and it helped a lot while I was working.

This just makes me even less likely to buy windows 8 , I'm not having it forced down my throat.

Dont worry folks because OpenGL DOES now work faster. Nvidia working with Steam are bringing PC gaming mainstream on Linux and it IS the future.
