Is anyone actually looking forward to Window 8?
So the desktop computer can now be bombarded with thousands of rubbish apps of poor quality. No doubt a portal for fraud apps too.
I am looking forward to surface if the price is right. Other than that, not really. Perfectly happy with windows 7.

Agree with the quality not quantity comments, but there does need to be a large base to cover everyone's different needs. We are already bombarded with millions of crap programs via the web, so it's not like it's any different it's just packaged up somewhere you don't have to go and look.
With the amount of cash they're surfing Win8 on, it's going to get a pretty strong start. I'm not talking the tech world folk, who are completely polarized and probably don't need to change, I mean the people buying tabs, laptops and new machines, the PC worlders if you like.
Yup, it's perfect for me (yes, really).Originally Posted by Loxick

Wait, did i just read that right - With windows 8 i'm expected to look at “Beautiful relevant and useful ads”?? WTF! guess that's why it's going to be sold so cheap...
95,000 fart apps and a few good ones probably
Sounds like an android system to me with all these apps Ermmmm microsoft might be banging on a brickwall here software infringment rights and such like
Totally agree. The large majority of apps on most app-stores are just worthless. In fact, less than worthless - they make it harder to find the good ones.
In reality, I doubt Apple and Google have more than a 1000 worthwhile apps between them on their respective stores.
I tried it a while back and hated it. However, I've used it again recently (I am tasked with testing my company's software on it) and it is a lot better now. Not enough to warrant abandoning Windows 7, but it's decent.
My problem with it its not performance or stability... thats been good all along from a user point of view, but that ****ty "chimes" and "start" screen ... damn it suck bawls... :s
