Vanilla VS2012 won't let you build an installer for a Windows service either,

Vanilla VS2012 won't let you build an installer for anything. That type of project is gone. You are welcome to use some crappy open-source substitute WiX (windows installer xml toolkit). I tried it and it sucks. What previously was a 5 minutes of mouse clicks became few hours of reading and experimenting with horrendous XML. Discarding features is the worst thing that happens to VS devs. Macros - gone. ATL SOAP support - gone. Deployment projects - gone. Static linking for mixed native/.NET C++ projects - gone. "Old" managed C++ syntax - trying to die since VS2005? 2008? Even STL is changing from version to version. As a C++ developer I feel like I am in a dumpster looking for leftovers of features. I wonder how long VS is going to support C++. The language itself is a trainwreck in ASCII.

We've long established that the source of the human "soul" is in the brain.

We have established nothing. We have no idea what soul or consciousness is. Maybe my computer has a soul too? Does it die when I reboot it? Does adding another hard drive makes my computer more intelligent and with a bigger soul? This is weed-talk!

The lack of visual clues in windows8? What about iPad? My friend showed me what he could do with his iPad and I was impressed, but I would have never thought about gestures with 4 fingers :) I have never seen anybody complaining about iPad interface. Seriously, I have seen NO SINGLE TITLE that would say that iPad interface lacks visual clues. Anyway, as a desktop user I find the idea of tiles in start menu quite useless and guy/gal who came up with name "charms" for the right side menu should be beaten to death with pink fluffy teddy bears.
