[AccessD] Whilst on Windows 8

Thanks Jim,

That was a good and interesting read and puts a nice focus on MS reasoning at least.

I think you sum it up best with "Resistance is futile."

Guess we will wait and see what the future brings in this area.  Most of us are just going to have to suck it up.  Hopefully by the time that day comes they will have figured out the worst of the productivity killers in the UI.

Cheers
Darryl.

My thoughts on why Windows 8. 

Everyone or at least most are saying the Microsoft is killing themselves but not really. They are just trying to resolve a number of problems and W8 is the ticket. For years they have provided a cheap OS on every PC but have reaped little in benefits (no as much as they would like) and now is the chance to turn things around. They are going for the long pass.
