davehc, wherever these blogs are now, I'm sure that there's still many XP and Vista users taking your advice on whatever topics that you made. You're fairly intelligent on a lot of these things, and I learned from you, too. OS's goes on, and so must we, in order to stay current. For me, a computer is more than just something to email, post on forums, online shopping, etc. It's a learning experience that's both challenging and rewarding. I could have stuck with XP Pro another four years, but decided to move ahead. And haven't regretted it one bit. For I have met many people here on this forum, and I love it here. And when Windows 8 comes out, I hope to see many of the people that I've met here on that forum, too. Time doesn't stand still (although at times, I wish that it would), and neither can we.

For me, there is no reason to abandon one site for another. I will probably wait a couple of years until the betas of Windows 8 start coming out.

Geez... windows 7 just went RTM last July.

It was not Ian's intention to draw forum members so early. It was his intention to get an early start, for when things did start rolling out for Windows 8. He would already have the forum setup and drawing hits with the search engines.

Hm. True. Anyway, I'm really happy. Excited for Windows 8 now!

That's cool! It's all good. Since we're all getting an early start on new technology, I want to reserve my portable fusion reactor now!

I regard the major achievment on Ian's part is grabbing such a very outstanding Windows 8 name for the site. Leave it too late and such names are out of the window.

Later. Just realised what I wrote!!! No pun was intended -it came off my keyboard.

Glad you like the name Dave It should hopefully help when people are searching for it.

Yep, you've hit the nail on the head there - that's what I had in mind. All set up for now, ready to go, but not actively promoted until the time that Betas start appearing.
