[QUOTE=Barrykgerdes;908953]This market is dominated by computer users who know nothing about the works of a computer, Probably 90% of the world's population but like the simple icon interface that allows them the versatility they require for the tasks they assign to it.
It is not going to suit the average "nerd" who likes to know what is going on so he can make a computer do what he wants.

I'm struggling with Windows8 at the moment getting it ready for work, it is interesting to say the least, but not very much like OSX so far.
