Well, that's fine. Didn't even know it was yours, just thought you were mentioning another operating system with it. I wouldn't want to go without regular desktop icons and that stuff.
Also this stationary computer is still on Windows XP, although my laptop is Windows 7. Never been much for jumping into Windows systems and very consciously skipped Vista because some techier friends were saying bad things about its performance at the time. My computers are mediocre enough without that. /shrug

I skipped Vista too, after having used it on my fathers' machine for a while. It didn't differ too much UX wise from XP, just looked unnecessarily flashier and was so much slower. It never made any sense to switch to it, and I've been using Win7 after that happily.
I've been using a Lumia 800 and 920 after for two years now, and I've been wanting to make the switch to Win8 ever since I first saw leaked images of it. It's Win 7 with a layer of candy on top (imho), boots in four seconds, sleeps in 1, synchs without effort to both phone and new laptop, and runs Visual Studio, Photoshop and Premiere. I'm happy to use it.

Nope.
But I am. (I called my friends Homies once, as a joke. They started calling themselves Homies since then :psyduck:)
Method of Madness:
My old laptop came with Vista in January 2009. It wasn't awful, but that fall Windows 7 came out and I had a student discount of $30 to upgrade, so I did. I'm glad I did. (The current computer I got refurbished in summer 2011 came with Windows 7 and I have no intention on "upgrading".)

--- Quote from: DSL on 19 Apr 2013, 15:13 ---Kind of surprised, really, the fight hasn't already started over whether Dora should or should not be using a MacBook as opposed to a PC laptop. Or even a (gasp) tablet. Now there's a fight to watch. Even more fun to watch than "USS Defiant vs. Millennium Falcon: Who'd win?"

Well you only have access to some porn from a tablet, because a great many pornsites run on flash and most tablets don't run flash (at least, out of the box).
judging by the thickness of the laptop its not a Macbook Air or a Macbook Retina, but instead a standard issue Pro. I thought Dora was worried about money? a Pro starts at well over a grand.
i can't hate on anyone for using OSX. Its a pretty decent system. (IMO, more user friendly than w8 or conventional linux distros, but still can't hold a candle to 7) (but this of course is simply my opinion) This is completely the opposite of my feelings for iOS, which i consider to be little better than a Feature Phone OS. Seriously, even the craptastic Windows Phone 7.0 is more capable than iOS. :mrgreen: but that's an argument for a different topic.
and the defiant is SOOOOOOOO much better than the Falcon :mrgreen:

My feelings towards MetroUI and W8Apps are not NEARLY as positive as yours. That said I plan to skip over W8 if at all possible and go straight to Windows Blue (or, as its being called now, Windows 8.1)
