I don't know about all that article has to say. I know that I can have multiple Windows on the desktop, just like Windows 7. I can also switch to the pretty Windows 8 interface. I can also split the screen between the two. I haven't tried to split it more than once, though I probably can. I like how it boots faster than Windows 7, wakes from sleep faster, wakes from hibernation faster, and so on and so on. I'm not upgrading my Windows 7 machines, but I am upgrading anything with Vista or XP. Windows 8 is great. I'm totally happy with it.

Well, the built-in Facebook app and mail apps aren't my favorites. That's mainly because Thunderbird and the web work much better.

Have you used Windows 8 for more than 30 seconds in a store? I'm using it right now on a 6-year-old laptop. Windows 8 is just fine. It's certainly superior to IOS in every imaginable way. My only disappointment with the Surface is its low resolution. I've been rocking 1920x1200 for 6 years, and just got 2560x1440 on the desktop. I don't want to go backwards.

Because we weren't in Afghanistan and they attacked us. Because we actually trained and helped the Taliban fight off the USSR, and they attacked us. They hate us. They hate the culture, freedom, religion, color, and superiority of the US. They hate everything the US stands for.

Moral of the story? If a terrorist moves in next door, kill him yourself or move out ASAP.

Seems like you care very much what I think. You even wrote a rant. Cute.

And your nasty habit affects others in many ways:
1. Second hand smoke causes lung problems and cancer.
2. My health insurance costs go up when you get heart disease and demand your triple bypass.
3. My life insurance rates go up as you drop dead.
4. My hospital bills go up as uninsured smokers take emergency services that the rest of us have to pay for.
5. You smell fucking awful from a mile away. It's like somebody taking a shit in the middle of my plate when you walk into a restaurant. You can't smell it because your nose is dead to your rankness, but everybody else can, and we can smell it across the room. It ruins our time. Thank goodness I live in California where you addicts are fewer and farther between.
