  1. So MS's surface tablets are overpriced and not very good at what they do. This bodes spectacularly well for W8's launch.

      1. @eaglehooves It runs a cut up version of Windows 8 that doesn't run Windows apps! Plus, the Metro store, which is the sole app gateway for Windows RT bans basically any game over a 16 rating. It is worthless.

        1. @ceruleanspark We need a sarcasm tag.

          1. @eaglehooves No, I appreciated the sarcasm, I just couldn't contain my overall disdain for WinRT as a product. When I need a tablet that costs as much/more than an iPad and doesn't work as well, and an Android device just won't cut it, it's good to know I have a third, terrible choice.

            1. @ceruleanspark Oh. I'm almost past ranting at this point. I kinda want to just make some popcorn, sit back, and watch the chaos at this point.

              1. @eaglehooves I can't wait for W8 to hit the market like a steamroller hitting a baby.

                1. @ceruleanspark I give it 48 hours before someone breaks it or botches the install or something and brings it to IT, and we throw a Win7 image on it.

                  1. @eaglehooves Given how well W8 functions when it's installed correctly, I am not sure how you'd determine if an install was in fact, botched.

          2. @eaglehooves SBN used to have sartalics for a while until minti broke it. He should re-add them and get widget to put them on here.
