Windows 8 - Viva la Windows
come on, the longer they allow backwards compatibility the longer you can use your old printers, scanners, games, software, etc. It makes "sense" to make everything require new hardware with the new software that way everyone makes more money off your "top of the line" setup that's 2 months old.
lol gotta love M$ always living up to their name.
Looking at 2 of my systems:
2ghz cpu, 2gb ram, Windows XP Pro: Handles 1 user freezes regularly
3ghz cpu, 1gb ram, Ubuntu 10: i've had a total of roughly 5 shell users, 100 remote users, 1 local user. never lagged. local user was using it as a desktop for proper tests (streaming video etc)
