The laptop already had Windows 8 on it.

Yes, but that was fixable! Just reformat and install Win7, or Linux...or DOS even.

Hey, I like Windows 8! I like the live tiles (especially the weather one [if it is actually updated at that time], since the weather here has been kind of bizarre lately [thunderstorm one minute, bright sun the next]). I also like the extreme speed of execution that Win8 has.
EDIT: execution == running programs.

I suppose somebody has too. I just thought it was only Steve Ballmer, that's all...

Of course you do: now, listen up: in a few minutes you will hear the bell; when you hear the bell come to Steve's tent, and drink the Kook-Aid. Repeat: drink the Kook-Aid.

windows 8.1 WAS officially installed on my laptop... I hated it. I put back W7 and setup a VM with W8.1/VS2012 for these bits I can't do without W8 (like the metroUI apps)... Now that I am back with W7 I am happy.

I like Win8. So there.

Me too. The tiles don't really do much for me but it's waaaaay faster
I've been compatibility testing our digital audio app (no probs so far) and (on identical hardware) it's twice as fast as Win7 & nearly 4x XP .

I rebooted my Win7 today and waited almost and hour as it configured 32 updates. I thought for sure I must be getting Windows 8. Luckily no.

I had to wait almost 24 hours for Windows 7 to install 298 updates once. Don't ask.

I've been doing SCRUM development for 4 weeks now and it feels like a huge waste of time. Here is a short list of complaints.
1. Would any self organizing team of developers actually plan to meet every day?
2. About half of the 15 minute morning morning consists of, "Lets have a Meet After to Discuss". Half the team stays after the meeting every day. How about just discussing it now and getting it over with?
3. The other half of our 15 minute morning meetings is just to state that the status hasn't changed from yesterday
I'll give it more time, but I'm not expecting much.

Yes. The longer you leave it between people talking, the more chance you have for things going wrong, and the SCRUM shouldn't just be the developers. What about your testers? Tech writers? They need to be involved because they need to hear what is being said just in case you are changing things.

Better known as, let's waffle on about an issue for an hour or two and completely bore those who aren't involved. The standup is purely there to give people an update on what's just gone on, and what is coming up in the future along with what's preventing you from delivering.

So no one delivers anything? Your units of work should be small enough that you can see progress in short spaces of time.
