More bad news surfaces

Oh, I won't dispute that that's an issue - I'm just arguing on the basis of low-end performance.

All I'm saying is that anyone who tries Windows 8 with an open mind actually likes it. You can tell anyone who hasn't tried it or goes in with a closed mind, the reasons they come up for hating it are laughable.

Actually there are multiple people who have tried it and hated it in this very thread. But hey, as long as you define the terms of the argument as "reasonable, open-minded person = agrees with me" and "doesn't agree with me = unreasonable hater," you automatically win, right? Score!

Yeah, you install Ubuntu Micturating Manatee or whatever the new one is on a P3 and then get back to me on how usable it is.

If we got rid of the threads arguing about OS merits/demerits, this forum basically wouldn't exist.

If we are going to continue the Linux debate:
I don't mind if Linux is bloated. I like the UI. It installs 9/10 times without any trouble.

Fair enough - as long as you're not trying to pretend that it makes sweet wizardly love to old hardware when it really doesn't.
