You know it's a drag one hesitates when it's to say something good. Seems hard to do w/ such worthy contributions as "fanboy" & "evangelist", as if curse words or slander, maligning, not worthy by motivation to be given credence, scoffed @ cus of presumed MS driven bias, but, anyway, lol This...

Hi I was thinking about this today. When I upgraded from XP to Windows 7 there were new features that were obvious. Like Snap better CD writing apps in the software, etc. I was trying to come up with things that are different from Windows 7 in Windows 8 other then the user interface...
