What do you mean? I listen to my poop brown Zune all the time whilst talking to my friends on my Kin whilst binging some stuff on my Surface RT.

-edit-
I had the pleasure of setting up a VPN connection over Teamviewer for a customer today. Took me a while to figure out why I couldn't find anything on the damned thing: it was a Surface Pro.

It'll also be interesting to see what the ~40% price increase from Server 2012 to 2012 R2 does. The cheap-ish virtualization of 2012
seemed to be a very good selling point, but are they really 'doing a VMware' now?

@thread title: you had to, didn't you :D.

What is one of the more annoying things of 8.1 versus 8 is that the old non-'app' version of the Skype client is refusing to run on 8.1. You're stuck using the Skype 'app' which is an atrocity and basically turns your computer in the equivalent of a single tasking MS-DOS machine.

In general the entire *?#@**?#@**?#@**?#@*ing metro interface always gets in your way, it never helps you or makes things easier.
