Thank you MS for PowerShell and CLI/CLR.
I forgive the win32, sepples and MFC penance.
And I'll even buy a Windows 8 Pro upgrade! ($10 :3)

Why do you have to flick a screen away just to get the sign-in screen?

Why do you have to bother with Metro if you would rather boot to desktop?

I've only heard terrible sounding things so far, for desktops.

Why the FUCK does everything have to be ``mobile'' oriented nowadays? For fuck's sake, this is supposed to be a desktop OS, or at least the desktop version of some OS. And all I heard about is Metro bullshit.

I'll stick to my homosexual BSD, thank you.

Windows 8 is a piece of shit. I'll keep using 7 until they come to their senses by SP1 and add a checkbox for the old UI.

They already are in their senses and priced the upgrade accordingly. Also, any MS UI starting with the XP Look-n-Feel is a waste of resources.

Everything's going ``mobile'' because the computer markets are moving back to the old terminal-mainframe model.

Except this time, the terminals are disguised as actual computers, while under total control of the mainframe owner.

The age of Treacherous Computing has begun.

what really astounded me was that metro UI will even be 'compulsory' on windows 8 server. I want some of what they're huffing at Redmond.

Yeah, I would like to see how an office will work if all desktop computers are replaced with ipads. Orthopedists and psychotherapists are going to love it.

Oh shit I forgot that the only ever people to use a tablet mainframe client either seep on their parents' money or work a shitty job which does not require a desktop PC, e. g. a cashier, and they use it so that their equally shitty friends will not think that they are uncool and poor. These people are irrelevant, so why worry? Desktop PCs aren't going anywhere as long as there is work to be done (or at least until some sort of usable neurointerface is developed)
