I personally think WIn 8 is just another Microsoft mistake wiating to happen. I mean the only way to fully get the full experience out of Win 8 is to have a multi-point touchscreen device (like a tablet) or a very expensive monitor. I mean when a 23" 1080p monitor cost $500 and that is the cheap one it is ludacrist just for a touch screen capability. I feel that in Microsoft's attempt to make Win 8 the universal OS between devices they have over concentrated on a few of the types at the expense of the rest. Yes Tablets are nice and people want them but people still want fully functional computers as well like notebooks and desktops. The only reason so many people want Tablets right now is because it is the new device on the block. I think microsoft might learn the error of thier ways in the next release witch I am holding out for. And it really ticks me off that they are not offering stand alone install retail boxes anymore, you can sign up for a specail license that will let you as an individual use up to 5 OEM version to do a clean install on a new build but that is it.

This is why I so love my Macbook Pro now even though for some games and work programs I have to use boot camp and dual boot with windows 7 so be it for a notebook. I still prefer to build my Desktop machines my self though I get the Specs I want and at a much better cost for a gaming machine than paying the bloated prices to the big computer companies and hoping to get driver support for more than a year or two. At least when I build it I can tweek the machine when ever I want and not have to worry about voiding a warranty.
