Who knows. I still got XP.
My coworker told me to virtualize the Win8 release preview, so maybe I'll do that.

Yes virtual machine is big hit in our company too. We put everything on VM for testing purpose.
Once tested then entire machine can be deleted. Only issue our admin infra team facing is with putting Mac OS in Virtual machine.
Back to ontopic Metro:Metro is looking like cross-breeding between several touch screen device and Windows. Such cross-bred OS will be much hated by several people. As we all know the world at large is hating bastard children and that is extending to operating systems as well.

I'll let you know when it is finalized. I'll consider switching it on my pc if it has enough features that I like/need to justify the cost, the UI is a non-issue for me. As for haters, people hate change, that is nothing new, every time MS changes something there is an uproar even when most of the time that change is for the better.

I'm running Fedora 16 on a Pentium 4. That's 12 too high for my processor.

Yeah, but they are easier to spot in RL

Why? The only reason I have a core i7 (intel stupid branding name) is because my perfectly fine Pentium 4 mobo broke so I decided to upgrade.

I don't live with any "civilization", that would be impossible, unless you either mean the game or living "in" instead of with
If you mean the game, the only one I played was the original, if you mean "in" I live in Candyland, although I fail to see how that is important. There is almost nothing I do with my current home computer that I couldn't do with a Pentium 4. Look if you want to change your pc or any electronic device every year, that is fine I guess , but some people don't do it.
