1. I've never seen so many marketing buzzwords In one sentence that tell me absolutely nothing.

2. People actually still use tape to back up data? I guess It goes with all the cave drawings hanging on the wall.

Seriously.. there are much better choices for reliable data storage regardless of size dvd,blu-ray,ssd.

Apples an Windows

I've noticed It never takes to long before It comes up someone suggests you use An Apple,or run Linux Instead of the latest version of Windows.....well how about sticking with the OS that you're using now if It's doing what you need It to do and just wait and see If windows 8 Is going to turn Into something you can use.

This Is why I still have my XP and Win 7 Installation disk's. Let's me downgrade or upgrade depending on you're point of view anytime I want.

Microsoft has made life harder for itself, Brazier added, by developing its own hardware and selling through its own shopfronts.

"If it's an experiment, it's a very strange one."

By launching its own devices, Microsoft might be taking on Google, he said - but Google doesn't have the sort of ecosystem Microsoft has built over the last 25 years.

"If they really think they're going to shift a lot of products through their own websites and stores ... they're not going to sell very much," commented the Canalys chief.

REALLY....yeah because we all know how Apple Is on the verge of bankruptcy doing just that!

Even worse

Windows 8??? Anyone remember windows ME? Or Microsoft BoB? and yes I am that old.

I've got four computers only one Is running Win 7 the others are Win XP.

I simply haven't seen enough Improvements to justify the upgrade, and unless there's a check box to switch to "windows classic view" and leave the metro UI behind I don't see myself ever upgrading

XP pro

Face It XP pro with service pk 3 Is as good as It's gonna get, but If you must.. wait at least 6mo or til the 1st service pk Is ready.

Been there, done that

As said earlier, pen,thumb Its already been done.

What I want to know Is can you remove It from the external case and use It In your desktop via a sata connection when you upgrade to a larger capacity one, so you don't end up with a bunch of these shoved In your closet doing nothing.

Pixie dust

O.K. I'm sick of this crap, "OHHhh we're losing BILLIONS to software piracy feel sorry for us" BULLSHIT!

Pulling numbers out of your ASS, doesn't make It fact I don't care how much fairy dust you sprinkle on It. theres just no way to put a real number to this kind a thing.

If makes you feel better, feel sorry for the poor knob pirate In Hong Kong who still has a hundred thousand copies of Windows Vista he couldn't give away as free drink coasters on e-bay
