The FAR Trial is free for 30 days only.

Re: Suggestion for new topic default text...

Re: Looking at Windows 8

The main problem is that almost all the major improvements in the system itself -- and there are lots of them -- are going to get forgotten because the entire experience and impression is going to be dominated by the new "Interface formerly known as Metro" user interface and its combinati...

Here in the Antipodes (the Land Down Under), it's mid-Winter and freezing. Roll on Spring.
