What is this, a thread for homos? Did not anyone notice the total babe holding that thumb drive but me?

I don't think she's really all that attractive... but then again, blondes don't usually do it for me.

I admit she was the first thing I noticed when the thread opened, but I didn’t think she was attractive. There is something about her that gave me the willies...maybe the pursed lips, something.

I did think the comment by Lee’sGhost was hilarious though!

That said, I think that kind of flexibility is a good thing. I have used that kind of functionality for years on the Mac, carrying a firewire drive around and booting any mac from it (any mac that had firewire and OS X) I found it to be a useful troubleshooting tool. If it boots normally from the disk, it most likely isn’t a hardware problem other than possibly the hard drive itself.

I don’t find the Windows 8 interface appealing at all (The “Idiocracy” reference made me LOL!) but I would have to try it first.

Sometimes things that don’t appear to be useful or efficient, can in actual use, be quite good once you understand the concept. I think it is a hideous interface, with icons designed like what you would see in a train station or an airport (they actually did that deliberately, as they proudly stated in the roll-out video!)

But I will reserve judgement. You never know, it just might be better. Don’t care for the look, though.

I do see this might be a rather bad thing from an enterprise perspective, though. Lots of retraining, though I venture to guess a lot of people will do better with this than they did with Windows 95. Seemed like EVERYONE had to be trained on that, but going from 95 to XP wasn’t bad, training wasn’t that much of an issue.
