I have to say, as much as I didn't want to have to say it. Microsoft outdid themselves with windows 8. I just bought a new Asus laptop and I didn't notice when I ordered that it said windows 8 (which is really really not like me) and when I got it I almost installed seven right over it. Instead I gave it a fair shot and damn it if it turns out I like it. The interface changes flow real nice for me. The apps it comes with are good (the store is lacking bad but time should help that issue) and the one program I couldn't install was for mounting an .iso (which is a huge deal for me) and turns out you can right click (or double click) and it mounts it and proceeds into the root of the image, so that won it bonus points. Obviously I've had it less the twenty four hours, but it's already growing on me.

I really did think it was going to be a vista fiasco all over again, I can say I'm dropped by how well Microsoft managed to release an I-didn't-find-a-bug-within-minutes(hours even) new operating system. Which gets me even more because it's such a deviation from prior version of windows.
