OK, they're down in terms of home usage but businesses rely heavily on IE because devs can't update their software each time Google decides to update their browser.

Like I already said, I rely on more than one browser for what I do on my PC, be it work or just personal stuff.

To be honest, I do not understand why some people just say that W8 is a stepdown if they did not at least test it for a couple of days. I agree, at first I was a bit annoyed by how Microsoft reorganized everything but after a while I felt comfortable. I am not bothered anymore by not having a CP shortcut in the start menu (Win+X works like magic) or the Program Files shortcuts. I find it that it's a lot faster to simply search for anything using the Charms bar; back in W7 I used the search function so now it feels natural.

I bet that in six to eight months once W8 becomes more main stream, everybody is going to like it as much as they liked 7. Probably the most useful thing I find useful in W8 is the fact that I'm able to restore the OS just like I would do on my Galaxy S phone.. http://www.onebitzero.com/six-featur...nt-know-about/ At least for this one would have to give credit for MS, as it is a first for them and necessary in the tablet/mobile environment.
