There's a TON of junk apps on both platforms. Windows is the worst for it. Thanks you bolstered my point.

Don't know about you, but I hardly ever use my laptop keyboard. I have the same keyboard at home and at work. I much prefer the full size keys, numeric keypad, more ergonomic layout, and I don't feel bad when I throw it away and buy another when it gets worn out. My laptop screen is at eye level which means fewer headaches.

So what? MSDN is how much? And surely if you're developing Windows apps professionally you have an MSDN subscription. And if you were a carpenter you'd pay for your hammer. So what? It's a lousy $100. If you can't afford it, you probably aren't selling any apps, which means you probably aren't doing a great job with your app.

If anything, I prefer a barrier to entry. Can you imagine how hard it would be to find apps if everyone was creating them?

If you're so upset about it, build your own. Make it do exactly what you want. Whatever.

It's like buying a white BMW for your kid and them getting whiny because it's not red. Grow up and quit bitching already.

It's actually more like saying, "buy a Bluetooth keyboard and it's practically identical to your desktop typing experience". If you're doing that much typing I can't imagine NOT having a dedicated keyboard.

So don't buy one, and don't use one. Build your own or whatever. Really, we don't care.

I had to go look up what he was talking about by "EToy". It wanted to install a plugin. I didn't install it. He seems pretty bent out of shape about the whole thing. If you want something different, you're welcome to build it or pay to have someone else do it for you. All this whining gives me a headache.

Good point; I would be interested in seeing those results.

You beat me to it, but as an atheist so long as you're not in my face, setting policy which affects me, or scaring my children, you can believe in a golden doorknob for all I care.

The evangelicals are highly offensive to anyone of a different religion, including atheists.

You seem to be well-balanced and tolerant. Many thanks for that.

Hey! You there! You can't bring logic into this conversation!

You're glazing over a lot, and using cloning to try and get around some real limitations. When the host has to run antivirus (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd744830.aspx) you're losing resources than a non-Hyper-V solution. VMWare and RHEV are much better solutions for everyone except the hobbyist, with VMWare being the insanely expensive option.

Thanks for posting that. I needed the laugh. The ads on that site are hilarious too!

The first link says it wasn't the wrong fuel. The second link says they speculate it's diesel. WTF people, can't you read?
