You realize that there are still a ton of people that are still running windows XP, right? You also seem to be forgetting Vista (which I actually liked, but most other people didn’t).

hmm, it's not april.... did hell just freeze over? actually the day alan jones
writes something like that will be the day hell truly freezes over..
on a serious note, for every single windows release that's about to come out
since win2k I've heard the same exact thing "this will be terrible, I'm staying
with win xxxx forever" yet those same people somehow upgraded throughout the
years and found themselves quite happy...

But what boggles me is that... how can the developers themselves stand it?
On a side note.
I've been using Linux for a long time now, but got fed up with crappy wacom
drivers and the crippled paint applications. So... I've installed Windows7 on
my workstation at home. And so far I'm really impressed with the speed and the
response from the system. Softimage works a lot smoother on Windows7 than on

Anyhow, going to take a shower now since I feel quite dirty.
And I think Windows 8 will be as Vista, a "side-note". They are already
talking about Windows9.

My main Win 7 workstation has been really acting flaky lately. Microsoft
has just release Windows 8 RTM, so I was wondering if anyone had tested it out
yet?
I realize there are plenty of opinions on the whole Metro interface, but
I'm just wondering if it's stable and if Softimage will run under it.
I need to take a weekend and reformat this machine & start over anyway.
Thanks,
Paul
