Theres a new tablet in town...

right because they aren't going to make that easy for the full release. Geez, this is why companies don't like releasing betas.

I don't expect 8 to be perfect anyway. Pretty much every other version of windows has growing pains. It is necessary for progress.

The public perceptions is going to be bad for 8 no matter what, just like it was for Vista. 7 is a savior when on a computer that is already setup they both run similar enough normal people can't tell the difference.

Windows 9 will come out and they will have everything ironed out. I'd rather see this than no progress at all, but you are free to go back and run XP if you want to.

funny.

there is something a lot better to complain about anyway:

DailyTech - EPA Clears the Way for E15 Fuel at Local Gas Stations

Well screw the EPA then. My bike is going to run like ass on E15, the truck I've been driving already runs like crap on E10, it's down on power pretty noticeably.

I have been using the w8 beta for like a year, I truly like the idea of a new tablet that can show all the other manufacturers some competition, I hate the idea of a $800 dollar iPAD or a convoluted nonsense android tablet for 500... I want functionality, ease of use, if you havent used W8 you should, it truly is intuitive and second nature, it still feels ambitious but I think as hardware matures it will be even better

I don't really care either way, I just like poking at Mike and his fanboi-ness.

Anyway, a 16gb iPad can be had for $499. The 64gb is around $700. The Surface RT might compete price wise with the 16gb. The Pro is going to be priced along the lines of an ultrabook. So, comparing prices isn't going to win any arguments. I do agree though, competition is always good, and I wish success for the Windows tablet. Funny, Billy Gates introduced a tablet pc in 2002, and no one gave a shit. Boy, how times change...

My Asus 1.4GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad core 10.1" costs about $400. God, I love Asus.

That's because Asus is amazing. My Asus EeePC is still rocking hard after two deployments and multiple operating systems - XP, Win7, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Mint - and my Asus Republic of Gamers laptop is fucking ridiculous.
