I won't try W8 before its final version, too many bugs left to fixed according to first reports. Also, the missing start menu is a thing that makes me hesitate. (On the other hand, I've been using Launchy and a number of "pinned" applications for a while now.)
However, it seems that my Stardock Tiles license will be deprecated with W8. I still don't know if I should like that.

At least this one's already been copyrighted, whatever it is...
(And seeing as Win8 isn't designed to be used on real computers anyway, the word seems to be that Win7 is the new XP, and the infamous Windows Tick/Tock cycle is going to bite them again, so unless you're desperate for a no-name tablet, Win8 is probably a non-event.)

My own drug line? Sure, why not... Kilmaceutical Research isn't as well funded as it could be (considering I'm not 16 anymore, and "grew up" somewhere in the intervening years), but capitalism is always most successful in the hands of the unbeliever. Maybe a line of herbal coffees, which curiously all seem to have an interesting after-taste of Horsey-Doo-Doo. (Those tree-hugging Meuslix-eating health-freaks will buy anything.)
Suppository form. As I made clear before, my new nom-de-plume is Mr.ButtCrack-o-Matic, just so Nikos has to guess where all that weird spam he keeps getting is coming from. It's also a trebble-pun on the exclamation I made when I discovered the sacred ingredient in The Coffee, "Urethra!" I cried, so loud my scantily-clad assistant burst into the room wearing less than a salamander in heat.
"What is it?" she whispered breathlessly, fawning up at me with her doe-eyed naivete.
Naturally, I couldn't answer her as I knew she was an agent planted by Steve Jobs as his last act upon this Earth (speaking of Tree-hugging Meuslix-eating freaks).
Thus, by the ancient laws of the Illuminati, I had to hide the secret in plain sight, so no one else would ever discover it. As it turns out, the Internet is a really useful thing for obfuscating the obvious! You can wear your heart on your sleeve here and people will think you're only suffering from a wee cut on your arm. Amazing!
(Yeah, you gotta love a strong cup of coffee.)
