I memorize my email passwords (just 2-3) and put the rest in KeePass with backups online. Worst case scenario I have to request a forgotten password via email.

>But Windows 8? I suppose there are people who would want this, but I don't really see the appeal. For the same reason you see the appeal of an Android and iOS device, other people might see it for Android and WP8.

It depends on what you'd like I suppose. If you want highly a configurable WM then xmonad is great (I can't speak for the rest). If you want something very simple with limited configuration but which allows you to quickly use it t
