I'm pretty sure it can be modified to behave mostly like Windows 7.

Mostly, except, y'know, worse in most ways, still. 8's just kinda' miserable. It's not really a desktop OS, and getting it to function like one is a bit of a nasty fight.

Just... just re-install 7, SG. Or don't, and don't mind us when we say "Told you so"

This. I'm running Win8 with the shell, and it's mostly Win7, but there are some points where the shit still shines through. Trust me, stick with Windows 7. If you use the Classic Shell replacement Win8 is tolerable, but... damn. It's like encouraging someone to spend money on a Hummer that runs on the blood of infants.

But infants are a renewable resource...

[Frumple]

Telling that you think of needing to replace the infant wholesale instead of relying on the more sustainable natural infant blood replenishment.

[Sirus]

Have you seen how much blood is in your average infant? You'd probably need at least two or three to fill one tank.

[Descan]

Or you could enslave ten times that many and take just enough blood averaged over them all that you can fill your tank, while they regenerate their blood-levels between fillings.

It's a bigger up-front soul-cost but with the savings over the years, even when you have to replace infants every two years, you'll come out ahead.

[Sirus]

Huh. Good point.

[Steelmagic]

That's ridiculous. Do hummers these days really run on the blood of infants? They used to just run on standard run of the mill blood of a pure virgin.

[GiglameshDespair]

I would argue most infants are also virgins.

[Steelmagic]

Yes but before you didn't need specifically infant blood. Any virgin blood would do.

[MaximumZero]

If you filter the regular blood, the Hummer can't even tell the difference. Baby blood is just the extra virgin squeezing.

[LordSlowpoke]

it's really weird for me to say this but you guys know any blood will pass for virgin blood as long as you prepare it properly right?

it doesn't even need to be human in most cases

[SalmonGod]

It makes me happy that this came from a discussion about Windows.

[Flying Dice]

No discussion about Windows would be complete without the mention of virgin and/or blood sacrifices.

And would mac then be selling your own soul to eldrich abominations beyond space and time?

[Helgoland]

I doubt that Xantalos owns Apple. Otherwise the Bay12 Space Program would be a reality.

[Flying Dice]

And would mac then be selling your own soul to eldrich abominations beyond space and time?

Someone who willingly buys a Mac is like a masochist flagellating themselves with a half-rotted hempen rope woven around shards of fibreglass advertised as silk rope studded with diamonds. Or something.
