    Windows 8 - What's your opinion

    Yesterday I installed Windows 8 consumer preview in VMWare Workstation. I really like Windows 7 and also Mac OS X - they are both phenomenal operating systems. As you know, Microsoft is in a real pickle and has to answer to Apple's success. Windows Phone 7 and Metro - not quite biting in...
