   Which website are you trying to view that does not get rendered as expected on IE10? Which CSS/HTML feature you expected that is lacking? I see a lot of such unqualified general opinions here on HN that rant against a particular product/tec

   What looks like a marginal jump from windows 7 UX to windows 8 UX, might be a little too much of a change for XP and older users. It will be interesting to see if this gets tweaked in the future releases.

   Also it is important to do a full power shutdown, not just reboot if you are enabling virtualization in BIOS for the first time.

   Maybe it is but that's not what hackers do. They just do it.

   As a user I remember windows me being extremely underwhelming. It was more like a lipstick on a pig. The first real usable OS after windows 98 was XP. Hope The future windows releases are not as messed up as the ones in late 90s

   I think Microsoft does not have secrecy because they have lots of OEM partners who want to develop for the platform before its released.

   Note to self: Never make a joke about apple fanboys. They might have a better sense of design but poor comedic sense and would slam you down with downvotes.

    Agree. But that doesn't necessarily mean that he has better opinion as well :)

    Funny how he turned the conversation to whose approach is better. Both Apple and Microsoft have followed their respective approaches for years and I doubt they are going to change it. What is important to me is to realize how quickly micros

    Windows Phone still uses it. But yes I agree HTML5 has a brighter future.

    You are right. When you buy a phone by the processor speed or the memory it has but if you look at the end product the phone is as impressive as any other out there. Particularly with the new mango update that is rumoured to release soon.

    And that coming from an apple fanboy loke Gruber means a lot to the new Metro design language.

    Only an apple fanboy can side with an opinion based on the color scheme and visual appearance of the site. :)

    As a user it's a tradeoff. May be the x86 tablet won't have 12 hours battery life while still being as thin as the iPad but maybe I can trade a few hours of battery life or a few mm of thickness to get my legacy quicken app running on my ta

    Here's why: No cut to microsoft so cheaper prices of apps Familiar apps on both my phone and on my tablet/PC. No learning curve and settings/progress/data is shared Live services integration means my app roams with me to another PC when I b

    Don't know. A quick search brought up this page where the tablet gets a 7 for battery life. So I am guessing its ok. http://reviews.cnet.com/tablets/acer-iconia-tab-w500p/4505-3...

    They just showed a machine running core i5 with 4 GB ram. You think it won't run on a PC with that spec?

    Just see the keynote again. It actually uses less resources even today as compared to Windows 7 SP1.

    Thats why windows 8 stories are somewhere on the middle of the front apge whereas the top story is about some tweak google did to their flight search. This is HN!

    I actually prefer taht. It gives me a choice to pay for whatever I need to use as opposed to Apple where no matter whether I need it or not, I have to pay.

    PG stays in his wonderland where Microsoft is no longer relevant. He said that a few years ago already. Microsoft still made billions of dollars selling windows in those years. Same is the case with the surveys above. Everybody wanted to bu

    They did show an ARM tablet as well. Besides by the time it is released, processors would have gotten even better.

    I am keeping an eye on the upcoming Build conference. That should have more details for sure.
