Hi Arthur

Beware. Soon, when you meet an XP, you'll feel like visiting a historical
museum, not to mention how sick you will feel should you meet a Mac desktop
sucking windows in a most ugly fashion.

I have previously written about my dazed-and-confused state upon confronting
Windows 8. Well, I take it all back. I've been living in Windows 8 for the
past three days and now I love it. Mind you, it also helps that I'm running
it on one seriously bitchin' laptop (fancy chip, 8GB RAM and a 1TB hard
disk). The only thing it lacks is a touch-screen but I can live with that.

I'm still installing various things. I'm running Oracle Virtual Box and Mint
14 inside it. Man, with 8GB of RAM VirtualBox runs just fine.

Call me converted.
