Default Geeks of the org... I call to you

How many of you have downloaded Windows 8 already?
Microsoft officialy launched the consumer preview of windows 8 today and I'm going to be downloading that beast later tonight to confirm if i'm staying with XP/Windows7 or would consider an upgrade when it hits RTM.

Why would any "geek" be interested in Windows?

I'm gonna wait until its RTM as there is likely some issues. I have an MSDN licence so can grab it from there when the time comes.

No, I have a blissfully Windows-free existence, and would like to keep it that way.

Oh you people are not being fair. Windoze does have its place. I use it to run my alpha server emulation. Nice to know I no longer need a DEC box to run VMS.

I used to own an Alpha, chucked it cos the RTC was more a Random Number Generator (for values expressed as times/dates in the past )

Downloaded, not got round to finding a spare disk to install it on my work PC..... Yet.

Why would a geek not be interested in Windows?
