    1. The more I read about how Windows 8 is being presented to the public, the more I wonder — what kind of Kool-Aid are Microsoft’s developers drinking?

      Won’t have access to local files and databases? Won’t run x86 programs? Won’t allow Flash in IE 10? Dubious support for .NET 4.5? Needs a touchscreen to get started? Won’t run Windows 7 programs? No third-party, Open Source or free Apps? No support for even third-party security Apps?

      This is going to be Vista and Apple Newton times a thousand. A complete Epic FAIL!
