"I was expecting Yet Another Incremental Improvement to Windows, but I got something else altogether." Jeff, please, do your reality check :) in fact I recommend visiting a doctor , soon! win8 is nothing but a win with a new clothes, inside is the same old rotten body. you can pawn win8 with techniques dated back to win98! regedit etc... AND what really makes me read all win8 articles in dismay is the fact everyone is missing to mention the ELEPHANT in the room: Windows is not FREE app platform anymore. It becomes CLOSED! this is way far reaching than the dull metro-UI!

RIGHT! Blame it on the tools NOT the one using the tools. Guess what Jeff, a good programmer is a good programmer (regardless of tools). I don't have much exp. with PHP. But let me tell you one think about it: every time I wanted something changed in my PHP wordpress blog, it never took me more than 5min to do it! with almost 0 knowledge of the language! Cant say the same for ...... pyhon ,, ruby ,,,, C#
