I am not Microsoft.
Although if I were to sell a computer format /u is the only way to remove personal information from a hard drive as it writes the byte F9 several times to remove the possibility of data stolen.
As for Microsoft's plan is to find the all use case so you don't need to setup anything.
If I have to care about the Operating system on a single machine or any machine for that matter - I have already lost.

Sorry, but that's just nonsense. Never gonna happen. Perhaps in the RT version - and even that sounds very unlikely to me.

sorry that is what is happening - as I am told by the instructors thought the Microsoft academy.

If Windows 9 doesn't have the desktop at all, not even salvageable by the likes of Classic Shell, then it will be something that everyone hates and it will encourage a lot of people to move to Linux distros, which are much more full-featured and user friendly these days. Look at the low takeup of Windows 8 – 9 would be far worse than that.
If Microsoft wants to be part of the future, they'll do well to listen to what their customers want.

Says you.
windows phone 8 was at %0.8 market share is now over %4
by the time 9 arrives in 8 years from now
8.1 - 2013
8.2 - 2014
8.3 - 2015 and so on
The desktop is a hard to understand technology and everyone that isn't a tech hates it.

I'm not in love with the desktop, it's just that it's where 99% percent of the Windows applications are run, and with that in mind, if they simply disappear the Desktop I think that other OSes will have a chance (and I don't refer to Linux).

Yeah that is the problem - nothing or close to nothing is programmed for metro mode.
Though all of our problems in computers in because of how bad the desktop programs are, at least this beast of an operating system called windows 8 a hybrid to bridge the cap for that lack of programming.

and what makes it funnier is that the Win8 and Win8.1 % is raised just because they stop "selling" Win7 and forced new PCs to come with Win8, so at leas 50% of that user are using it because they were forced and not because they want it! hahahaha
But just a little defense to Win8, Win8 is not as bad as Vista was, the only problem with Win8 is that stupid Metro (and those annoying menus a the border) when you are in a Desktop mode (you must install Start8 you will love it) the OS works the same as Win7 (so no need to change from Win7 hehehehe)

World wide game.
I'm OK at the minute as I'm sat at my chair, but if I wish to get a Coffee I'll have to crab along the bookcase and not sure if it will take my weight.

Your chair has castors. Presumably they are heat proof, or they would have melted in the heat already. So stay in the chair, and take that for a coffee. You will spill less on the way back, too.

But my feet will need to touch the floor in order to propel the chair.
Of course the chair is heat/lava proof, have you never played this game before?

Why? You have hands.
Pull yourself along via the shelves.

I was wondering who would be first to do that. Sorry.

Don't take LSD next time. Just wait for the trip to end, then go for the coffee. 
P.S.: Also I don't know what game you're talking about, because you forgot to write down the name. Quite important fact to be able to determine what game we're talking about.

Wait until a dead bird you drop on the floor doesn't sizzle.
“But I don't want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.”
“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.
“You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.” Lewis Carroll

I'm sorry. It's not a game unless it's available from somebody's App Store.
And if the bird sizzles, try it with a chicken. And spuds.

Some interesting facts:
1. Lava is hot (I assume you know that).
2. The most simple explanation without going into the world of physics is: Heat "goes" up.
With those two facts, if the floor is made of lava, you should not only touch the floor, but also prevent your legs and hands to be exposed to the heat above lava. I assume (since you are still alive), the chair is made of some heat isolation material that does not meld. So you sit there in the chair, the air around you heats up and your time is running out. In that moment you think about coffee - that's hilarious.

Visual Studio 2010 text edit mode has a toolbox which is completely empty - when you switch to design view it gets all the controls.
Try this: Highlight some text, and copy it to the clipboard.
Now right click the toolbox and select "Paste".
Put the carat in your source file, and double click the toolbox item that just got created.
Oooo! Boilerplate!
