It's amazing that it didn't hit the earth, yet the shock wave blasted out windows and damaged buildings, people were injured. Imagine if one of these actually hit a built up area ... Our ex-prime minister didn't put in money, around 1 mil a year, to help the international community to monitor meteorites because 'it will never happen'. It's only a matter of time ...

Ok ... I'll give my unqualified opinion why the 'metro' UI has no purpose on my computers, not Win8 in general ... because it's just an OS which does what an OS should do and does it well, which what Win7 does and, as Anthony R had said, why bother to upgrade ...
