I'm a fan of Win 7 in fact. If there were no Ubuntu, I'd be using it (I've been dual booting it since it first came out). I see a lot of people saying "Hey, Win 8 is fine, just use desktop, here's a start menu replacement, bleh bleh bleh". That's missing the point. If all goes according to plan, the desktop is doomed and Metro is the future. Microsoft's only got it there because Windows is still in transition. So I'm trying to use Windows 8 in as Windows 8 a way as possible, not like Win 7's little bitch. So far it seems that's a doomed experiment. For dev I'm going to have to go full desktop, oldschool. Of course.
