I use Linux for all of my telephony and speech recognition consulting
Issue with GMail hanging out there without connecting, coupled with the MS Live ID policy of never allowing you to ever reuse a password pretty much kept me away from Windows for over a month. So I've blocked the entire UI by using Start 8 and never go to the Win8 UI except for Mail. Thanks for that! I run a blazing fast laptop (ASUS ZenBook UX51) yet the Charm Bar takes forever to load and sometimes I need several attempts.
