Tiles 8x is up a pathetic 0.85% from 9.3 to 10.15 .

Meanwhile Se7en has grown a 2.62% (about triple the rate) from 46.64 to 49.26 .


The market is basically ignoring the Tiles joke. The disease is only spreading via infected new comps bought by unfortunate souls that don't know any better.

Q:"Kill it with fire before it lays eggs!" it already happen

Congrats on your upgrade!

Agent24, try using Ubuntu first up, I have spent quite a few years playing with Linux.

Me too, I've been using Linux in dual-boot since 2005 - Ubuntu 5.10
Switched to Xubuntu\XFCE after Unity came on the scene.
Have dabbled with other distros but so far haven't learned enough to switch to something 'harder'.

And it looks like I will have to keep hanging on to Windows for the foreseeable future - I have several programs (and a lot of games) that just do not work\work properly in Wine.

I like Windows 8 (on my touch laptop)
I like Windows 7 (on my touch desktop, or any non-touch laptop)
