Yep, it's really that simple. Life is a binary equation.

Does the New World Order really care about your teeth?

Every Radio Shack I've been to in sdrawcab Nebraska and Iowa has had Arduino stuff in stock in the the last few years. You should go check it out.

It's not truly "high speed internet" until it can pass this test:

You don't need a Windows account to install it, but you have to be firm with it. It asks two or three times and if you keep saying No, it will eventually give up and keep installing.

So it's an OS in firmware, that doesn't handwave away the problem.

But 512 megs should be enough for ANYBODY...

Not talking about desktop, I was talking about the mobile market. Which they definitely don't have 90% of...

Kinda right, kinda wrong...

Not trying to start a flame war, but what would companies use instead? Lotus Notes? Open Office? (Although LibreOffice is my primary suite at home, I don't see how it fits into a business environment as well as MS Office)

I don't think any of it is perfect, but they really are pretty much the best solution for business at this time. I don't see anything better to switch to.

It's better on the inside, especially the DLL sharing. (Rather than each running app having a separate in-memory copy of a DLL, now if separate apps have the same DLL dependency, then there's only one copy in memory. Probably my favorite feature of Windows 8)

But the interface still sucks. I've used 8.1 as my primary desktop OS for almost a year now (Stock install, no Start Menu third party add-ons), and while it's a solid OS, there's still so much missing from the Metro interface.

Recently used documents is the thing I miss the most.

And just exploring through the tree-based Start Menu is something I really miss. I end up with so much stuff installed I forget some of it. Would occasionally just surf thru the Start menu to re-discover stuff. But with 8.1, if you don't remember it, you're not going to find it. Sure you can go page by page through all the listed stuff, but that's far more inefficient than being able to walk through a tree-based menu.
