I asked him what the chances were we'd ever go up to Windows 8. If you're in a large enterprise, the perceived quality of the OS has nothing to to do with it. The most important things are compatibility, scalability, reliability and security. Windows 8 delivers all of that because it's built on Win...

Of all the apps I have on my tablet, I'm yet to see one which isn't tablet specific, or that I would want changed in any way.. The tablet merely makes the app a little easier to use than the phone version due to size and/or it scales to use the extra screen real estate because all android apps do t...

This looks like it will be useful for those that end up with touch screen Windows 8 devices: Bluetacks allows you to run all Android apps on Windows 8. This is also available for Windows 7 and Mac but on Windows 8 devices that have touch screens, it gives you access to all the Android apps while th...

Who's taking bets on it being only somewhat less empty than the Burj Khalifa? I thought I read somewhere recently that the burj khalifa was like 80% populated.

This crap of taking the servers down every single Tuesday blows ass. Why can't they do a monthly or bi-monthly patch like everyone else?

It's funny, there's nothing wrong with the UI if you don't have the desktop, and nothing wrong with the desktop if you don't have the UI. It's the artificial composition of two completely different design objectives to create a "unified" design that's the problem. Despite Winnow's objectio...

Text/screen is too small to view standard web pages in portrait without zooming. Magazine text also mostly too small to view full pages (read fine on 10" screens) You probably need your eyes checked... I don't find it too small with my reading glasses on >< You can change the text size in the ...

The metro/touch interface disease spreads well beyond the start screen. Charms or whatever they're called are part of it, and there's probably more but I already uninstalled it since I "don't need" anything it offers. As for "don't need" to see the tile horrorshow, yeah, you do t...

In other news, Windows 8 is so good that Sinofsky is gone from MS after 23 years at the company: http://www.wired.com/business/2012/11/m ... -the-boot/

Zaelath

Yeah, but it kinda doesn't matter. Games aren't going to support Windows 8 (exclusively) until there's a significant portion of the market on Windows 8, other than a few MS titles. Same thing happened with Vista, lots of DX9 games with DX10 support in them, nothing in the way of DX10 only.

Totally ignoring the "Metro" start screen and Windows Store Apps, Windows 8 is an improved version of Windows 7. I'm talking about day to day use. You people are so obsessed with "Metro" that you're missing out on an improved back end. It seems you can't see past the Metro start...
