How on earth is this good news? I was excited about win8 tablets but if that happened there's no way I'd get one.

Yes, the developers preview (which I have installed on 2 computers) has Metro for the start screen but there is also a standard desktop just like win7. I don't expect the desktop version will keep this though.

That makes sense, that's probably why it won't have one on desktops.

Why would you use it as your desktop ui?

I don't think the desktop version will even have Metro, or at least not by default.

I got sucked into a $30 electric razor at Newegg (half off), aside from a few $5 Best Buy items the best deals to be had were from OnLive.

Did AIM ever really die? I have Trillian with my old AIM account connected and see my old friends on there all the time.

Luckily I don't think I've ever given Steam my CC info, the only game I ever got from them was Portal when it was free.

I don't even use Us Cellular but good for them!

He's off being douchey elsewhere obviously.

Jeannie or Vlingo?

Well I just bought Desu Ex Augmented Edition for 90 cents so that's what I'm playing.

You can't recognize 16:9?

I don't like the mobile Firefox at all but I do the same User Agent thing with Dolphin HD.

You need to get out more.

No, OnLive never charged a fee. It was suggested before they launched but it never happened.

There are a number of good choices but I really think the first one in this article is the mest for a mascot.

Of course it did G+ hasn't even been available for that long. Even still it's vastly more popular than Wave ever was.

Maybe he's busy getting more cool stuff done. I don't know about you guys but my friends and I get a lot of use out of Gooogle+ and it's not even out yet.

You have a normal desktop where normal apps run but the desktop is an app like any other, so hitting the Start button brings you right back to the Metro Start page.
