Bunny with a pancake on its head... aka I have been shown up and have nothing more of value to contribute, so here is a pic of a bunny with a pancake on its head
Thanks for playing.
Stiggie - no smiley posts in the techie threads please - thanks brosef.
- jamin


Edit: pffft and I fixed your spelling for you.

I might not be an uber linux geek, but that has nothing to do with my previously stated reasons for using windoze. I still know how to do everything I need to do in Linux, I've got no desire to patch the kernel or anything else in that vein.

This is windows 8, it has nothing of value to contribute so therefore the bunny with pancake is perfectly justified.......M$ should make that the win 8 logo

I foresee that Win 7 will live on and that win 8 will be adopted only by the gullible

But now it has some touch interface bs. I just dont see that catching on in the desktop world and the mobile market is dominated by andrioid, I dont think people will trade that for a windows OS

It seems all you want to do in Linux is play games. But Linux is crap at that so you are going to bash an OS that isn't until such time as Linux can catch up, all the while using the OS you purport to hate.
You are at best a hypocrite and at worst a hapless simpleton who has no business discussing the topic at hand -
either way, please enjoy your Windows experience :P
I bet you spend more of your personal computer time in Windows than you do in Linux on a daily basis which makes your uninformed ranting all the more hilarious.

iOS has the most, really now :scratch:

Android still has a decent share of the market, far more than MS has and I doubt windows 8 will change that

Yes that is interesting, I thought their devices used android too.

But I am sure I saw another graph that painted an very different picture

Will it be touch based?

Linux is for grownups who don't play games anyway, so just stick to Windows.

Yes, I intend to but that does not mean we must move on to the garbage known as windows 8 :P

You don't even know yet that the final product will be garbage. Windows 7 was pretty rubbish in early beta phases.

You'll have to provide the source link as proof, Stig.
Not saying you're lying, but it's required if you want them to take you serious.
Although, that does look shady... :?
