    Think again! I've been a Mac user probably longer than you've been alive!

    I don't hate Windows, but I can't stand Windows anymore after converting to Macs! Will never go back to it, I am forever a Mac user.

    I agree! However, I'm not a huge fan of Windows at all anymore.

    I've gotten the Blue screen of death on windows before, so yes, that's how I see all of them .

    Until you get to work.

    I love Macs, I do. I have two on my office desk. But they do not get used for actual business purposes very often.

    Wait until you all see Windows 8. It is VERY, VERY early beta that I have access to due to being a Microsoft partner.

    All I can say is its gonna change some things. Imagine your profile going from you phone, to your Xbox, to your PC and then back to your phone. Same data, same look, same apps... It is going to revolutionize the workplace because your workplace can literally be anywhere you want it to be.

    iCloud is going to look like a tinker toy by comparison. (I use iCloud and I like it, BTW.)

    To hell with that. I live out in the boonies for a reason. I do NOT want that kind of "accessibility" and find it incredibly narcissistic for people to think they're that bloody important that they need to bring work home with them on their phone.

    It just ain't that damned important.

    Work is work, home is home, and the two don't mix.

    I want my phone to be a phone, I want my computter to be a computter.

    Yes it is.

    For those of us who dont have a union to secure us.... We work 70 hours a week, for reason.

    Better yet, my wife and my family understand how and why I work. I NEED to be connected, 24x7. 14 people and their families depend on me. Its the cross I bear to be FREE dude. No union. No master. ME.

    The 2 DO mix. They do. You just have to learn how to make it work. We have.

    Fire away.... But your attitude shows why unions are bad for the economy.

    Do they each have their own keyboard and mouse or do you use a switch?

    The Developer Pre Release, or something closer to Alpha? I thought the beta wasnt due till CES 2012. The pre release is still pretty clunky but I see the potential for Winslow users and businesses, everything with one OS. If they pull it off it will be a huge WIN.

    ETA: Just reread the Developers Release, its a late Alpha build.

    Sorry, no one needs to be connected and available 24/7/365.

    I didn't take my work home prior to being employed by the Post Office, and I refuse to take work home now.

    I find being connected to a wire 24/7 a truly bizarre definition of freedom.

    Do I need to be connected 24/7/365? Yes. I'm a freelance photographer and artist. But my main reason? I'm deaf. How else am I going to be able to communicate with people? I don't talk on the phone. It's unbelievably tough for me to do that. It is a whole bunch of gibberish when I try. I'm thankful for email, cell phones (texting plan, of course), and computers. I don't know what I would do if I had no access to any of it. Technology is incredible that way.
