[GreenKeys] Windows 8... the worst marketing failure to date...

[Ron Kolarik]

As a long time user of WF1B, I have the printed version of the manual from Ray,
I too was disappointed in the march of progress. I went to N1MM and after a learning
curve never looked back. N1MM is not as easy as WF1B but it does quite a bit more.

Windows 8 is Windows ME for the new millenium....at least as far as desktop use goes.
