CROAKING you say? A bit disrespectful don't you think?
iPad mini late, no I don't think so, I think it's just on time. Apple sold 100 million of the older larger tablets, my guess they will double this within six months.
The service RT is a walled garden haven't you got your facts straight? Microsoft is closing off and locking up the doors and is going to make sure there's no virus or malware can get in. That's why it's taking so long to get apps developed.
Only Microsoft can screw up on a name. Metro Metro Metro , said Steve Ballmer to Ryan Seacrest, (youtube)
Pushing an XBOX USER INTERFACE on serious users could be Microsoft's Achilles' heel . If people don't accept it they're not going to buy into it, Win8 Will fail to take off. Sinofsky’s departure could be the writing on the wall.
Don't get me wrong I think that Microsoft has done some really serious and interesting things over the years. But honestly folks I think they fired the wrong guy
Windows Head Steven Sinofsky Leaves Microsoft

Question.
Are you required to purchase a license for each computer , or are you allowed to install Win8 on 5 different computers. This of course is what Apple allows you to do.
I have an old Vista computer, thought I would install Win7 on it. Then when BootCamp is ready for Win8 I'll install it on my Mac. But I really don't want end up having to buy 2 licenses.
