+Many of you may know my commitment to Linux and Open Source Software. But this
+doesn’t mean I hate proprietary software like many others do. I think
+everything has its own place in the world, and this goes for software as well.
+
+A few days ago I got my hands on a new notebook, thanks to my company. It was
+shipped with Windows 8 by default, and although I installed Fedora 19 in an
+instant (which went smoothlessly, even with Secure Boot enabled), I’ve decided
+to give a try to this new Windows Version.
+
+Being a heavy Windows 7 user, my first thought was “What the hell is this?”
+But in a day, I got totally used to it. I don’t miss the Start button at all.
+The applications already installed were almost enough for me (I still need
+Office. Maybe I’ll also enroll for Office 365 later…), and the games are great
+and beautiful too. So overall, this new version may be totally different (by
+the looks), but it seems almost the same Windows as we know it. So if you
+don’t freak out by touching something new, go give it a try: don’t
+instant-remove 8 in favour of 7!
