    It looks like the Xbox dashboard... pretty huge leap away from the Windows I know. I'm nervous. Is this Windows ME/Vista again?

    They make money off the "beta"...Fix it THEN release it! (One of the reasons I hate Micro$oft.)

    after looking around, they claim they can run W8 on :-

    CPU: 1 GHz or faster
    RAM: 1 GB ( for 32-bit) and 2 GB (for 64-bit)
    Hard disk: 16 GB (for 32-bit) and 20 GB (for 64-bit)
    I seriously doubt it would run that smooth and snazzy on that hardware.

    In my experience, touchscreen usage is useless on slow hardware. This could be W8's biggest downfall.

    come back to my place, I'll show you how to drink tequila.

    I dunno what you're talking about. Windows ME sucked but Windows 2000 was the bomb. I kept that instead of upgrading to XP and Vista before upgrading my entire system and getting 7.
