What ? No Beta 1, Beta 2 ? RTM ?
The final version straightaway? Dev preview cant be considered as a beta.
A Winner or a Vista ??
"I name this shipping Microsoft Windows Me 3, May god help all who crash with her"
Microsoft's Metro design really didn't do much for me. I'd rather have XBMC for all my remote/touch screen needs!
kthx m$, you didn't listen to folks again!
I will like to see how that $39.99 translates across to £.

So Microsoft has a date set for fail? Cool.

So, the difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8 is .... ?
Windows 8 is a glorified app store.

Personally unless you have some kind of touch screen then I'm afraid its "Vista"
I am happy with Windows 7 and Mint 12 and judging from all the disapproval Windows 8 is getting, I might as well skip this one.
Kindly vote for GOG to add existing Linux versions of the games they already sell!
Xonotic - free and open source, it's a fast paced first person shooter for Linux, Mac OS, and Windows!
Maybe I'm not hardcore enough. I'm doing non Windows 8 development using Windows 8.
Currently studying: Electronic Engineering and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Southampton.
In Microsoft terms £49
Hopefully the retail/oem version will be aggressively priced. Microsoft will want fast adoption of this.
I think for home it's ok to get along with but at work i'd go nuts
The RTM build will be available to developers next month via technet/MSDN. I'm using the CP for development in the interim.
Personally, really like it. I feel ostracised because of it mind..
