Here is going to be the future of windows 8 and beyond and I have to admit it looks pretty cool. Microsoft spies Apple vulnerability | Microsoft - CNET News This actually makes me wish I waited to get my hands on one of these hybrid systems!

You are correct Kala, the future is upon us and many are going to kick and scream, I was one of them. When I first saw windows 8 I tossed my lunch with metro screen, but I have been using it. Have it set up for me needs and hot roded the desktop with classic shell for my love of that...

Well I have it running with 2 gig in a virtual enviorment and it runs quick, my suggestion is install the copy fresh and start over. Sometimes OS's just dont install right I just bought a new laptop 2 weeks again and in one day reloaded it because of issues. It happens, if you reload the OS from...

I am upgrading to be on the ground floor of this, which ever way it goes I want to see it first had and it really isn't that bad.

Let's face facts apple ripped it off from Linux/Unix. But I understand the apple freaks well they think apple invented everything. But most of this technology used today by Apple / Android is linux/unix based they are making billions of open sources material Apple will never admit it and Android...

Now that post made me :D I think sometimes when people use something long enough, they start finding reasons it works for them, and that's cool we all do that, that's why windows 8 is having this effect that it is. Were all used to how it was and this just doesn't seem enough but there is...

I'm not offended at all :cool: I can will admit if I'm wrong....when you start a thread like this you have to be willing to take a few hits and I enjoy that. That doesn't phase me just wanting to make sure I said "I get it"! But I can tell you, from the stand point of windows 8 viability I'm not...

Ok, I get it everyone is having fun with me calling it genius. I thought about that when I wrote it and left it that way. It will really be the driving force behind rather or not it will be success. It was poor word choice I admit it.

Trust me, I am already there, however, I'm going to give it the opportunity to show me success or fail. I wrote a 3 page single spaced review on windows 8 that I deleted because I'm a bit of a maverick and I see potential in this like I see in Linux desktop although Linux desktop has a ways to...

The real genius of windows 8 isn’t in the structure of the metro screen; it’s in the potential of the app store or in the Linux world the repository. Linux / unix has been using them system for far longer than anyone else. But it’s the ability to add software with 0 efforts that makes windows 8...

I understand that I was making the point is all. They haven't changed much over the years, and that has its downsides as well, however no need to get into all that but I do understand, but they certainly could have done the same thing.

Sorry SIW 2 was not referring to you I was referring to those who used it once shut off the computer and ranted. You got caught in the cross hairs. I thinks its incomplete and rushed because of the pressure on ms to produce a viable gadget OS.

I think this metro screen styling will have more validity when computer go more twords touch screens but really even Mac didn't combine Ios and Mac os into some sort of all purpose experience.....because there was no need. But those systems still connect together seamlessly my mac buddies this...

Not to point out the obvious here, or just simply place excel icon on you desktop, not seeing how your making an advantage out of somthing that is available in any other desktop model used. I placed applications on my widows 7 desktop I use all the time the rest can stay in the start menu. I...

I actually get this, to put it more simply you feel like your swimming up stream, I felt allot of resistance to the 2 separate screens. The 2 worlds are like oil and water, I can see cokes point about using it long enough, but for me it's more like settling. If you swim in the sewer long enough...
