Not totally sure what your point is but on the subject of windows 8.
Yes it was 12 hours experience with me but it was clear from the out set and from the hours of videos I’ve seen online that this OS was absolutely made for a tablet device.
full screen apps on a 24" monitor at 1080p…and then scroll bars at the bottom? Seriously.
No start menu? Forcing yu to go through the pain of the metro system.
Plus I HATE the design, I think it’s lazy and boring.
It did boot wonderfully quick though.
Either way ill have it installed on boot camp no doubt so any argument over what is better is completely irrelevant to me as I have my cake and I shall eat it.
