We're headed in a wrong direction with windows 8. It's like Microsoft is just saying "f*** you" to all of it's customers. What about us hardcore gamer's? What do we get? I don't wanna spend my free time playing "Angry Birds". Then what? Do I just go and be a "Mac person"? Linux maybe? I'd like an answer cause the future is looking very dim.
