    Yep, it's shaping up very nicely to be new XP, and will easily last another 7 - 10 years while we wait for the new and improved Windows 9 : Desktop Edition for Businesses, Enterprises and Datacenters.

    Pushing that inane interface (metro) even for the Server edition of Windows 8 was the last straw.

    No fisher price tiles for me, thank you very much!
