Windows 8 yuk
Looks like I will be sticking with Windows 7 Pro when I buy a
new computer. If I can find a 64 bit version by then.
This is a couple of years down the road.
The Metro is a piece of junk designed for kids.
Why does Microsoft perpetually keep on designing bad OSs?
Change is not always good. I know money........
Windows 8 for a programmer is utter nonsense.
My comments are intended to be constructive.

Windows 2000 - haven't tried, but was very popular
Windows XP - they haven't thought that people like MS so much, they have added a whole new kind of interface
Windows Vista- they thought that they can do anything right - they were wrong, but they've created aero
