The pragmatic approach is always best. If it works, don't knock it. The one fact in computing that has and will always be true, is that there is no substitute for horse-power.

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.
