I would still use Windows 98 for gaming if it was by me...but its not supported any more

Well here is my GUI Wrend nothing very 8 about it at all unless I am hallucinating of course.

Looks like you modded it to look more like 7 and you're presumably avoiding the Start screen, so that's probably why it doesn't look very 8ish.

I'm not a fan of desktop icons nor a cluttered up taskbar either, but to each their own.

Just for reference, here's a picture of my desktop (I have the background cycle through a bunch of outer space related photographs, mostly nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters). There's also a lot more running than what you can see here.

By the way, nice picture of your family there, I presume. :)

Once the Vista days were over I couldn't see much use for having shortcuts clutter the desktop either and simply opted to use the additional Quick Launch toolbar method to keep things organized easily enough in separate catagories. With the 8 CP and RP the Metro was the annoyance while the MS move to avoid further embarrassment was to include the boot direct to desktop option in the 8.1 preview showing they were starting to notice the large volume of complaints coming in!

Before 7 the only clutter you would see on the main taskbar would be from filling the sectional Quick Launch option if not using the addon toolbar method. 7 and 8, 8.1 all share the ability to load up the taskbar too easily without any thought of those. It's still going to be upto the user on how cluttered up things get however regardless of whatever fast ones MS pulls from time to time.

Now as far as clutter on a VM? nonexistant but instead showing a basic desktop strategy ignoring the little reminders VM ware shows in from time to time this would be 8.1 without much on it.

Priceless.

I can't post my Desktop for two reasons,

1. Don't have access to it from school. (Parents shut it off D:)
2. Inappropriate wallpaper (I Love Drunk College girls ^-^)

But my love for FireFox & Windows 8 will never fail. Also, I has a new Samsung Galaxy S4 on the way! :)

"I encourage everyone looking for a new tablet or a touch-enabled notebook to upgrade to Windows 8. But if you're already on Windows 7, I would wait until Windows 9 to upgrade, by which time some of these kinks will have been worked out."

That leaves me much more optimistic about M$'s next OS.

Yeah, but where's the "wiggle room" for more improvement?

I read Gates' 'time for the kinks to be worked out' as a more PR friendly way of saying that Windows 9 will be a dedicated desktop OS once again. I could be wrong, but the company's chairman and major shareholder isn't going to advise the consumers to avoid upgrading to the current release of their OS as it isn't suited to desktops and hint they should wait for the next incarnation if there isn't going to be significant differences, i.e. no more touchscreen UI on a desktop OS release.

That is the fakest news site ever, (daily current) did you even look at the sides of the page? Hilarious.

Unfortunately, even bill gates is blind.
