I prefer UI's that do not change over marketing-reasons. The Win311 common controls are still recognizable by the users, without the need of re-schooling them to teach how to manipulate the latest widget.
I do not care about the color of the hammer, I care about the handle and how it does its job.

I appreciate the front-line report, Mike. I'll get around to trying it someday ... when I know that Start8 can de-claw it in the same way it does 8/8.1.
The thought occurs to me that WinX is not being designed for the likes of geeks us.
But, I admit to some fascination in the announcement of keyboard cut-and-paste in the Console window as if that were some big honking deal. Arguably, that's geeky enough for ?

Well, your post inspired me to do the same thing - downloaded VirtualBox (had used VM Workstation in the past - need to get that back). For whatever reason, VirtualBox with When felt sluggish - mouse just didn't have the same snap. Might be a prelim When thing, not sure.
Overall, I'm looking for the point of When. Fine 8 and 8.1 introduced the notion of touch screen support, but I really don't use that. I guess any upcoming development project might - but for the moment - yawn. Windows 7 meant no Vista plus stability. What does When bring?
For my desktop, I don't like the flatness...
Multiple desktops? Already have them.

BMW this morning announced a recall of all 3 Series models from the last seven years, amid reports that owners are being forced to drive like dicks for reasons not yet ascertained.

I discovered a new game to play when driving a few months ago.
If you are being followed by a man driving an Audi then let everyone you can find pull out in front of you.
Audi man behind gets very, very angry at this.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

It's so effective I'm already feeling slightly angry.

Are you admitting to owning an Audi then?
|
|
|
|

Does it matter? Who wouldn't get angry?
But yes.

I also try to play the other game of trying to over take Audi drivers, they also get annoyed at this thought and try to stop you.

Oi! Do you mind? 
I used to drive a 3 series BMW. Mind you, this was when I was living in Bahrain, so it put me into the seriously poor lower class, imported labour bracket.

Reminds me of a variant of an old joke: What's the difference between a BMW Series 3 and a hedgehog? With a hedgehog you gets pricks on the outside!
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

you disgust me with your blatant hatred of hedgehogs, even mentioning them in the same sentence as a Bloody Moron Wagon is enough for me to be writing to the RSPCA and Esther Rantzen to have you vilified on all media outlets

Sir, I refute that!
I've just completed my Microsoft Jigsaw Hedgehog collection and I'm a lifelong supporter of Miss Tiggywinkle's. When I lived in the UK, all my bacon rinds were donated to my local slug eating friends.
If you pick up a hedgehog, do you not get pricks? If you prick me, do I not bleed?
... why is there no hedgehog emoticon? oO/ (my attempt at one!)

When buying from a dealership do they also ask you if you would like the arrogance package with it?

No that one is standard now.

They don't ask - it comes as standard.
