I bought a Samsung Google Chromebook instead of a Dell or HP laptop, because I hate Windows 8 and Metro. I won't buy any PC product with Windows 8. Dell should offer more alternatives like Chrome OS or Linux because Windows 8 sucks!

Because of Windows 8 and Metro
Sentiment: Strong Sell

I love my new Google Chromebook, with no Windows 8 or Metro. Only $249 for a thin light laptop with 6.5 hours of battery life. I'm using it to type this right now. Works great! Who needs Microsoft?

It came in the mail today. It was easy to setup and I was surfing the web in minutes. Boots very fast, without all of Microsoft's bloatware to slow it down. Nice keyboard included. The Samsung Exynos dual core 1.7ghz ARM processor doesn't use much power and it runs cool. It's quiet because it's fanless. 6.5 hours of battery life too. Weighs only 2.45 lbs. It cost 1/4 the price of an Ultrabook or Surface Pro. And best of all, NO Windows 8 Metro!!! Hooray!!!

MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE-- STORMS/DAMAGE 50% WORSE BY 2014
by hayzeuschrist •May 20, 2013 5:25 PMMicrosoft will fix that with the Windows 8.1 patch next month. The Desktop and Start Menu will return, Metro will be gone for good, global warming will subside, the sea levels will return to normal, Democrats and Republicans will finally agree on something and there will be rejoicing througout the land.

Face it, Windows 8 just sucks. Microsoft's only hope is to bring back the traditional desktop and Start Menu with the Windows 8.1 patch next month.

Everyone is avoiding Windows 8, not just enterprises. Maybe the Windows 8.1 patch will fix it and get rid of Metro? Meanwhile, Apple and Google are cashing in on Microsoft's big mistake.

MSFT shares will drop more than 10%, if Windows Blue doesn't return the Start Menu.

Windows 8's main target should be XP users. Millions of XP users need to switch to something else next year. MSFT might have a chance to keep these users if Windows Blue brings back the Start Menu.

Android's monopoly on malware: Mobile malware exploding, but only for Android....

Wow, Android has almost as many bugs as Windows!

No way I'm spending $1000 for an Ultrabook or Surface Pro with Windows 8. I just ordered a Samsung Google Chromebook for $249 instead. Sure, Chrome OS has a learning curve, but so does Windows 8. Microsoft and Intel can't get it right. Now I'm switching to a competitors product. The Chromebook has some nice features:
Low price
Weighs only 2.4 lbs
Includes a keyboard
Dual core ARM processor
6.5 hours of battery life
A/B/G/N Wifi
11.6 inch screen
