• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Windows 8, take a deep breath

I added Win7 X64 in a dual-boot config with my existing XP Pro x32 a few months back. I do all my FSX flying on the
Win7 boot now but still use the Xp boot for some development stuff, all my email and financial stuff and downloads.

My Win7 deaktop looks pretty much like my Xp desktop, which looks alot like my Win95SE desktop, which evolved
from my Win95 desktop. In otherwords, I do not WANT, nor do I NEED and of the fancy, smancy gimicks that the
kid programmers of today seem intent to foist upon us! I want functionality, first and foremost. Not "pretty
pictures". Thus, Win8 holds absolutely nothing which interests me.
