Windows 8 Kills Another Product Line (Score: 1, Insightful)

It's working its hardest to kill off Windows PCs, and phones, and now tablet hybrids.

Seriously, I'm using Win8 right now and I still hate it. First I thought that the pervasive ugliness was because I had installed ClassicShell and somehow Explorer had reverted to something basic.

But no, even on a virgin installation of Win8 all the windows are as primitive and ugly as possible. They resemble nothing so much as the Windows 1.x I played with years ago, squared corners with no style at all, as if someone were assigned to write a GUI using only Turtle Basic. Just ugly ugly design as far as the eye can see, and that's WITHOUT getting into the horror of the start screen.
