The worst thing for me is the desire of windows 8 to sync everything to the cloud.
It stresses me to read every message/configuration option (some translated very bad) because i don't want anything accidentally in the microsoft cloud.
I (just) want software (O.K. an operating system) and not (rental) services.

Big companies already have a next money saving plan. It's called "PatentBox". You know, like starbucks. The 6 year transition period is needed to change to the new business model. If politicans were real about the "we need to save citizens from evil companies" speech, they would already start changing laws to protect from the upcoming PatentBox fraud.

awesome *********.

Thanks !
