In addition to my CAD software, I also run my invoicing software on that Win8 machine, as it is Windoze-only,
and there is no Linux port. It is perfectly happy inside Win8, so....
Running Linux AND Windoze, you get the best of both worlds.
....or is it the worst? (rhetorical!)
I, personally, LIKE Windoze-8.
The OS in the background, NOT the bloody horrible Metro GUI interface.
But if you bypass the Metro tiled GUI with something like Classic Shell, it turns a Win8
machine back into a perfectly usable Windoze machine, complete with the classic START menus,
and once you get rid of the Metro GUI, I really like Win8.
I could NOT use Win8, with the Metro GUI enabled, and I think that is what most people hate
about it, and I'd have to agree with them on that aspect. But nuke Metro, and put a
standard START menu in its place, and Win8 is a perfectly good stable OS, I have found.
