Knowing that Win 8 was built for the smartphones and such, the desktop
seems understandable. On a PC or laptop however, one seems to be thrown
back into kindergarten. Totally irrelevant for those hardware. I don't
know about pros or cons of Win 8 but at least the desktop view needs
clearly be an option. Not the place for /that/ discussion here though.;-)
