I have no complaints about 7. Its fast and easy to use, and can run just about everything. Even old games.

Fixed.
Actually, yeah. You're right, Windows 7 is pretty strawberry floating incredible. If Windows 8 continues along the same lines, I won't be complaining.

It can already be done in Windows 7.
What? How? You can burn them, but not mount them.
Maybe I'm getting mixed up. Sorry.
No, there was a tool for that with early versions of Windows 7, I'm sure there was.

Well compare iOS/Android to OSX/Windows, not that hard to see the attraction provided it's modified to be touch friendly.

Still not feeling it.
I've got a tablet, and I use it as a couch surfer. I honestly can't see why I'd want to use one with a fully featured OS. What's the point? All I use it for is a bit of surfing and some Youtube videos.

Well some people don't like to waste money on countless devices that do the same thing. Not everyone's a tech geek who wants everything that comes out.

If you want a device which does everything, buy a laptop. Tablets aren't the answer. Unless you get a tablet with a keyboard, ergo a laptop. Or one of those laptops with a touchscreen where you can fold it so it looks like a tablet.
For any sort of work which requires prolonged use with a keyb, or if you're doing something which requires heavy processing, a tablet as an 'all in one' device is not the answer. Even with Windows 8 on it.
