What other side - is there something else going on?

I have heard it will be a free upgrade. It would have to be. I haven't had a close enough look yet to tell if it is any worse than the existing 8.

They have been faffing with app windowing.

The tiny number of coke robot clones will need nappies. Maybe MS should supply them to go with the pre school UI.
Where's the Wingman when you need him the most, it's all too bleeding obvious.

I laughed when Windows 7 came out, I laughed even louder when Vista came out, I rolled on the floor when XP came out, now I've got tears in my eyes.

It's funny that people always remember the beer. I don't drink beer, but wine.
Beer is goot, Munich beer is gooter, Austrian beer is goot and cheap. Are you sure you're German whs that wine drinking is more of a French thing, although I drink it a bit more in the last few years.

Yeah, I am more French than German. French is my second mother language and I lived and worked in France for a whole decade. And right, I drink mostely French wines. From Germany only Riesling from the Rhein and sometimes some Italian wines.

Unfortunately my favorite wines have gotten very expensive lately. A bottle of Chambertin Clos de Beze that cost around $10 in the 70s is now $100 to $200. Example : Domaine Alain Burguet Chambertin Clos de Beze 2006 - Ultimate Wine Shop

Yeah I thought you might have had a bit of French in you, I was born in Europe and came out to Australia when very young with my parents. I wasn't born all that far from you, just in another country.

I need a nap? Maybe.

I'd say you probably need a drink, a good night sleep, and a new perspective on life.

There you go, stick with win 7 and explore chromebooks.

He has a point. MS may be driving people to do just that.

FYI the remaining start menu code has been completely excised from Blue.

An indication of where MS are going. They may be going on their own, with just a few obsessives following obediently behind.
FYI, you OBVIOUSLY know little about Windows 8, as the start menu code is there, if it weren't the whole UI would collapse and would not be able to pin Desktop app tiles to it as the directory is gone.

And no, if you go outside or out from under your rock, the world's change and continues to. If you don't like it, go back inside.

Sorry couldn't watch it all, I don't like that pommy show Come Fly With Me, I assume that's the guy doing this video. Just tell me how it ended.

I saw it up to where he said he was afraid it might trash his hardware, that's when I thought oh, oh, this is Benny Hill, I'm being set up.

LOL! Exactly. Show it to me when you study it a little and present it in a professional like manner, not like some Etch-A-Sketch flying around dizzily. Geez....

Glad to see there's some good changes, though. :)

:D Agreed, but I endured the whole thing. Learned as few things also, but it was painful.

As soon as he started talking he turned me off, I'll wait till someone with more than half a brain evaluates it. Maybe I should have turned the sound off.
