and that everyone, is the sound of a small minded manchild losing an argument.

actually they were, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lIS3zybb2s

sorry but what idiot does not do research to find out that those fences have worked very, very well for many decades. oh Lumpy the slash-doter of course. Problem is you lack the intelligence to to do proper research.

or Risk, where are the protester's over the game Risk, the game build around WORLD DOMINATION, oh the evils of someone pretending to take over the entire world but slaughtering millions of your opponents army men. I've killed more people in a single game of Risk then every single call of duty/halo game combined.

sorry, but you can't have it both ways. you can't say video game A causes people to be violent, but video game B does not. Either video games effect people or they do not. If you claim that CoD makes people want to shoot people, then you HAVE to say farmville makes people want to farm. You cant say a domino's pizza makes you full, and a pappa jon's pizza makes you even hungrier. they are both food, they both go in the stomach, they just taste different.

So you are saying that the desktop environment does not function well, when it is 99.999% identical to windows 7, then you go on to recommend windows 7. Something here does not compute.

ding ding ding! We have a winner ladies and gents!

probably because it matters how much you drink over how much time. 2 beers in 10 minutes will get you a nice buzz, 2 beers over an hour you may not feel very much.

There is so much bad science in this post, i don't even know where to stat, you dont even know what a dang quasar is.

As far as i can tell it's more like 1/3 like windows 8 1/3 like windows 8 sans metro UI and about 1/3 are complaining about it for a myriad of reasons. Best advice i could give you is to just give it a real, unbiased chance. Cannot guarantee you will love/hate it, but a lot of the metro hate really is being completely overblown.

how can windows 8 be so completely unusable for content creation when looking at the desktop it is a near 1:1 copy of windows 7. any content you can create on 7 you can create on windows 8. windows 8 start menu just looks and works a little different then the one in windows 7.

here i fixed this for you. Most of these comments are from stupid people who either (1) work for Mcdonalds or (2) wish they did. Why is it fashionable to say "OH NO! windows 8 is the worst even though I've never used it" Windows 8 is great and most of you are just being giant manchildren and or riding the anit-win8 bandwagon because it's oh so cool.

But that video linked earlier is NOT about how a 3 year old does thing, it is showing how EASY it is to use, and learn your way through a few new changes to a UI. It shows how completely hyperbolic these "adults" are when they claim that windows 8 is UNUSABLE. The fact is they are extremely anal retentive and have yet to give windows 8 a real unbiased chance.

Metro apps are designed to be very simple, quick full screen apps. if you want to "work" you would not be doing so through a metro app. you would use a real software program witch would not run through metro and thus it would works 100% the same as windows 7. you can have 500 windows open side by side if you wish.

no, he IS an idiot. he could not figure out how to close a metro app. you click and you drag it down to the bottom of the screen and let go. real super easy. He spent 30 minutes and could not figure this out. It took me about 8 seconds. He is an idiot.
