Yeah, sure, Windows 8.

Microsoft's Windows 8 Plan B(lue): Bring back the Start button, boot to desktop.  I really don't get why it left in the first place.   :-\

I played around with a Laptop at Best Buy that had Windows 8 on it and decided I wasn't going to upgrade to that.

I really wanted a new computer, too, but 8 looks so gross.  Merla's computer conked out on her and she had to buy a replacement, so I got to try Windows 8 out since she needed me to install the printer.  Yuck.  What a fuckin' mess.

I'd try a Mac if they weren't hideously over-priced.

Windows 7 works just fine for me.

The computer I got my mom has 7 on it and the first thing I noticed was how nice it was that CTRL-ALT-DEL actually does something on her's.  Where as my laptop with Vista has always been all "yeah, yeah, I'll get to it as soon as I'm done processing this non-functional process."

They seriously calling it Windows Blue?  Sounded like a "Blue Screen of Death" joke at first.

I thought Windows Blue was an in-house dev name only. Whatevs.

Windows 8 is wrecking PC hardware market, says analysts, because, and I quote, "Ain't nobody want that shit."

I hear Windows 8 is a perfectly good system when you figure out how to put the start menu and desktop back to normal, no thanks to Microsoft. But I don't want a fucking touch screen tablet for my desktop: I want a computer. I removed the Win7/8 dual boot *real* quick on my HTPC. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat!

Having to use Win 8 on library computers makes me want to put my fist through the screen.

I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Modern anime is a stagnant cesspool of regurgitated ideas.

My ultra bad-ass new computer, once assembled, will run some form of Windows 8...once I start I'm sure I'll modify it to my liking.
