1. Saturday nights on DU are hell. Windows 8 brought Dante's Inferno to mind. Wikipedia:

Eighth Circle (Fraud)

The last two circles of Hell punish sins that involve conscious fraud or treachery.

IMO, most appropriate.

2. I don't know. I kind of like it.

Simple and to the point. It's back to 1.0 for the logo.

5. Is it an animated Ames window ?

That would be appropriate, since an Ames window can pretty well drive you crazy ...

6. Leave Microsoft alone!


How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of Microsoft, after all they've been through?!

"They wanted a fresh start and now they have it. This is the most radical change maybe in their entire history as a company."

Yes, that is an actual quote - not from The Onion.

I guess the 'new start' must be the 'unfamiliar' bit.

9. Someone on another forum commented

"Well, it has four Blue Screens of Death. Their OS is pretty well represented."

Microsoft probably didn't think of that.

12. Wouldn't it make more sense..
