    Windows 8?! Pffffffftt...... I've been running it for months now on the freely-available consumer preview.

    It's actually not bad, but I spent 99% of my time in the desktop mode and skip past all of those pretty tiles immediately after the system boots. That whole "metro" interface is really optimized for tablets, which simply aren't productive devices for me to work on.

    For those who haven't experienced it yet, Windows 8 is really a split-personality OS: There's the metro half and the desktop half... the desktop being more of a continuation of Windows 7.

    • Metro on a desktop is for the 80% of people who never use more than Word, email and browser.ETM
    • For them, it's great. For the content creators and gamers, you skip to desktop. I am not bothered.ETM
    • Well, other than not having an option to boot directly into desktop.ETM
