AMD x64 was the first hardware to use flat memory model in 2003
Most all 64 bit addressing is flat memory model - its the software (OS) that need to catch up.
Since the 386 chip - the memory management controller controlled the segmented addressing and it was software even in the 386 days not at the hardware level.

Don't Downgrade to Windows 8.x
Don't buy the new "Junk" on the market that relies on it.

My grandma uses 8.1
She says all others were to hard to understand to use.

She must be good with the smart phones too then.

I am actually a desktop lover or once was, was frustrated with the metro, now I understand why it is the way it is - and to f*** with it would be to remove the benefit we will see in the future.
All my 90 yr old grandma uses windows 8 - she says its the first computer that makes sense.

That is why Windows 8 has a start page.

Windows is going to be amazing when it is just metro.

For some applications.
I still use the desk top a lot because I am developing software, but for a data consumer metro will be just fine once the metro apps mature a bit.

I am a few step away from having a metro gui from creating apps with my libraries and visual studio

True, and MS won't stop it till PC's go away!

No you got it wrong.
Just every desktop needs touch, like me with forty inch touch screen in my living room with windows 8 and air gestures.

I'm looking for something like, in the Ruby on Rails world, "cucumber / capybara". I'm looking at SpecFlow[^] but was wondering what you use/recommend?
For those wondering what integration testing is, it's actually driving the UI to verify results on the screen. Contrast to unit tests, which verifies function results.

OK, got that.
Now, what's this word "testing" mean?

Testing: An activity that adds 50% to your development costs and is eventually considered a complete write-off because tests, like cars being driven off the dealer's lot, quickly lose their value as requirements change.

So, no point in doing it then. Thanks!
And I just wish I was joking...

We use TestStudio from Telerik. It's very good.

Yes SpecFlow is what exactly suits your case when you really want to perform integration testing of your ViewModels and simulate the UI driven kind of things. As far as I know , It's a highly recommended behavioral driven unit testing framework.
Thanks,

I'm supposed to test???
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

We use Ranorex[^ at work. It is a commercial product, but the functionality is worth paying, IMHO.
