I am more the "PC guy" at home.. Have win8 installed and will upgrade to win 8.1 at the end of the week (if MS maintains schedule..)
At the office so definitly "sysadmin" even if I am a dev: just upgraded to 7 here, and there are many XP stations here..
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

Can only recommend it - I have the RC from my MSDN account installed for a bit over a week now.
Everything feels faster and smoother, you can resize the tiles and Office 2013 + VS 2013 turned out to be really great.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

I already have the Win8.1 RTM on my laptop (thanks, Dreamspark!). I must say, upgrade! It is faster, although I don't have VS2013 yet (I am waiting for the RTM version). I also have Office 2010 (still works, no need to upgrade right now).

I'm probably about 2/3rds #7 and 1/3rd #4. The bits of the Metro Control Panel I've seen are a big improvement over the 20 years of accreted cluster elephant droppings that is the legacy control panel that dates back to at least Win95 (did it begin in NT3.x??? I never used anything older than NT4) but most of MS's other Metro apps are still 1.0 versions and not mature enough to be suitable replacements for the desktop versions yet.
My personal laptop is W8, and my next desktop will almost certainly be 8.1 (unless I run into a deal breaker in setting it up).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

No current plans to update.
Looked at a link of four things you should know to run W8. From "Start Me Up" to "where do I start?". Sound like if you have been using apps on a phone (I have not) you are good to go.

This
Random r = new Random();
do
{
double d = r.NextDouble();
double x = (d + 1) * 1070000000;
int y = (int)x;
if (y == -y)
break;
} while (true);
Console.WriteLine("Exit"); is an infinite loop.
However, this
Random r = new Random();
do
{
double d = r.NextDouble();
double x = (d + 1) * 1080000000;
int y = (int)x;
if (y == -y)
break;
} while (true);
Console.WriteLine("Exit"); terminates with probability 1 (try it, it exits quickly in practice).
Quiz: explain why
OK, some people got close, but.. it's trickier than that.
Take a look at the spec[^], 13.2.1:
o In an unchecked context, the conversion always succeeds, and proceeds as follows.
• The value is rounded towards zero to the nearest integral value. If this integral value is within
the range of the destination type, then this value is the result of the conversion.
• Otherwise, the result of the conversion is an unspecified value of the destination type. So why 0x8000000? Implementation details, but that's what it does - usually. Not always, for example:
Console.WriteLine(unchecked((int)1E100));
Prints 0.
On x64, the JIT compiler uses cvttsd2si[^] which gives 0x80000000 when the value is outside the range of an int.
On x86, IIRC the JIT compiler used to use fistp[^] ("the integer indefinite value" is 0x80000000) (using fistp is annoying because it requires you to change the rounding mode twice) but now it stores the double to memory and then uses cvttsd2si (at least in my tests). I'm not sure if it ever uses fisttp, but that would also give 0x80000000.

Because 80 isn't 79.
I thought we'd already established that.

4-10+25/4=9-15+25/4
(2-5/2)^2=(3-5/2)^2
2-5/2=3-5/2

Hm. Makes sense for French speaking people. Q is used quite a lot there, I guess...

Or IDSPISPOPD (later IDCLIP), to save time.

Hmm...(2-5/2) = -1.5, (3-5/2) = -1, therefore -1.5 != -1.0, meaning 2!=3, 79!=80 and wings stay on aeroplanes and it all falls apart, took two looks over to get it, am I right!
Dang someone post it before me! Leslie mode engaged !

I am glad you did not really think that 79=80.
