    or... perhaps I should have said "As complicated as that."

    Windows is just not user friendly, or idiot proof enough to be considered the Nespresso of the IT world. The superior flexibility, power and potential of a Windows based system demands a level of user skill and depth of knowledge that Apple/Nespresso-type interfaces do not.
    Sorry for being unclear. Rather than it's ease of use I was alluding to the taste of the end product. Suffice to say I have no plans to buy a Nespresso thang of any description.

    Then again, there is no accounting for taste.

    As for Windows 8.1, I'm typing in it right now on my very own laptop.

      I must say I find the way the Start screen behaves is that it's very wasteful with screen real estate and jarring to use. Pulling me out of all my apps and work flow when I want to start something up quickly. I used to use the Win7 start menu as a launcher (Ctrl-Esc | (type) app name | enter). I think as a tablet OS an x86 Win8.x would be the bees knees.

      My daily use now sees me using OS X, Android, Linux, AIX, Win7 and Win8.1, I have my definite order of preference, and Win8 is was down the bottom for me and my workflows using keyboards and mice.
