A real person will have a guide in front of them and learn how to use it.

It's not really rocket science.

Then they should stop being lazy and start learning how to use what they paid for properly.

I thought you needed another one lol jk. I thought I did see one but I wasn't sure lol.

I suppose they won't have a choice, so yeah they'll probably read the guide.

Who needs to alt-tab in the middle of a game? Seriously...there's something wrong when you're multi-tasking while multi-tasking.

You're right. Its a useless feature that nobody wants. That's why Blizzard included it as a direct menu option in Diablo 3. You know what's also useless? The Steamworks overlay. Why on earth would I want to talk to friends or use the browser to quickly check something in game? Its almost as bad as alt-tabbing!

I think it looks like windows 3.1 done in HD.

Do not want, and Aero is not a big mem hog...I haven't had any issues with it ever. Windows 8 is day by day looking worse and worse to me. I won't be a buyer.

With this 2D makeup, I'm sure mainstream computers will be blazing fast!

I'm glad I love what Microsoft's doing, otherwise I would be putting my flamesuit on and a megaphone in hand.
