    For me what blows me away is the loss of "labeled" Taskbar
    items. Everything is now icons that you must hover over in
    order to figure out what the heck you've got open.

    Hate it, hate it, hate it... its like Microsoft wants to
    be Chrome-OS.

    MS is betting that people will eventually get used to it.
    There is also a whole new generation of users that will have
    nothing to compare it to and will simply accept it.

    imho my first real computer was a z80 comet running autocad <TM>

    huge ram as astonning 64K, later Bill sav a commodore 128d with
    reu1750 512k ram expander, where he says 640k is enough to
    anyone, at time where floppy disks to commodore 128d was just
    340k, and could read msdos floppy formated disks with a cpm
    wedge that allowed to issue a pip m:=a:*.*

    yes i still have that computer

    commodore 128d have hardware mmu, so it could indeed be expanded
    to 1024k ram, fully supported in cpm mode, dont know if the basic
    rom without virus can handle that, i just blame commodore did
    not pay for opensouurce of that virus

    on facebook, oh its #meta now btw, there is simple many examples
    on z80 mbc, even m68k mbc, all running cpm :)


    Regards Benny

    ... too late to die young :)
