Re: Windows 8

It doesn't look very good. It hardly looks like windows at all. It just looks like the windows phone but on a bigger screen.  hmm

Re: Windows 8

I'm not interested. It's just another Microsoftian moneysucker that will be replaced again.

(I would install Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or SUSE on every computer in my house if I could)

Re: Windows 8

Why is it that every new OS has a non-creative name? How about Windows Platinum? Or Windows Pulse?
