The unused powder can be re used? Maybe after some filtering

it's an unbelievable immature release, and it's the first Windows without windows: am I wrong or all the metro (macro) apps grow to full screen ? It's pathetic to see Skype filling my 17" screen - and then crashing

Dear English friends, don't You ever come to mind of having been carefully brain-washed?

All the posts here, like all your press, etc. seem to me an extreme exercise of glass climbing.

You are the only nation full-time complaining, why ???

You fill your mouth of words like: respect, tolerance, integration, and in Europe you only talk about British interest.

Don't be parasites, forget your ugly weather and mood, be a little optimistic.

Really want to go back to borders, customs, all kinds of limitations and inevitably... war

Sometimes look at the bright side of EU

O M G !

there was not much ranting when Mr. Bush decided to let US Dollar tumbling down, to stimulate export!

He did even go so far as explaining the currency was strong ONLY in the paper it was printed on.

ah aha ... so it means that the Linux developers wait eagerly that some wonderful idea is filed as patent by MS (ah no, he said no ideas, way to implement, that is) , and then translate in Linux code.

That's it?

Well, in windows 8, Metro interface, there are many ideas coming from Android: the multitasking without any close command; the separation of OS and apps, so you can change OS without reinstalling evrything, and so on

IBM

there is no mention of the licensing of NExtStep software to IBM as a graphic interface for Unix workstations

madness n.2

all these companies are MS partners! They all build PSs & windowsphones.

So this is a suicidal way to mantain the relationships with your partners, I guess there is a scheme in which they can redeem the payments if they build more MS crap.

You can install GNOME if you like.....

Guys, don't get so nervous; if you want you can just install gnome from Software Center. I'm doing this now.

Actually, when I heard about Unity, some months ago, I installed it on 10.10 and used both.

Hope this can cure the nostalgia, no need to change distro.

honestly

I found too the galaxy body too much an imitation of the iphone 3, worse so of an outdated model, that's why I didnt consider it. And gave more prestige of the apple brand.

But also I found the ip4 an imitation of my REALLY OUTDATED eten x500+, and so on...

IP = intellectual property legislation should strongly limited in scope and time; patents should be issued only on outstanding inventive steps

Microsoft today is the '80 IBM

Your parallels fit very well, for most of them I had the same thoughts.

I would add that all no-US efforts were destined to oblivion, because.. that's it! With the beautiful exception of ARM, that now beats at the hart of all our phones.

And remember the IBM at that time: THE EMPIRE.

It was reknown that for every shit IBM pops out, evrybody goes buying it.

It reminds me of MS today; even the recent huge lineup of WM7 is similar to the launch of PS/2 system PCs (1987?).

Is was intended to regain market from the sea of compatible boxes (think of the ocean of Android marks of today and tomorrow) with more strict intellectual property (think of the suits against HTC & MOTO).

Still today the IP regulation is so clippled that the suer (MS) is robbing from Android the idea of integrating the phone with its online services: HOtmail, BIng...
