^And I'm an hypocrite, because I never use it nowadays, but at least I didn't pay for my windows license. Although Win7 came with my laptop(2nd comp) and I didn't replace it with Ubuntu... ok yeah I'm definitely an hypocrite. :(

actually, for some components starting up and shutting down causes the most wear (hard drives i'm looking at you)
back on topic: Windows 8 imo screams touch, i contemplated buying a surface because it looked so slick and win 8 is completely built for that purpose, however i realised i have no use for such a device :( oh well, at least my wallet is happy.
