2. You should learn Windows 8
Fri Sep 20, 2013, 03:51 PM
Sep 2013

because learning something new is always a good idea.

And - Because you may actually like it. You already got it; may as well drive it around the block a few times.
Or - It will make you love your favorite Linux distro *THAT* much more!

I've found that Win 8 is usually a "love it" or "hate it" relationship... I find that Linux people usually tend to "hate it".
If you like what they have done with iOS 7.. you will feel right at home on Win 8.

If you would ever consider putting an Apple Logo sticker on your vehicle or getting a tattoo of said logo... then you will not like it or anything produced by Microsoft.
