smart guy, especially if Windows 8.1 continues to flop, imagine what will happen if Windows 8.1 still sucks, Microsoft would seriously have to reconsider cause 2 slaps in the face will surely hurt, i am said that no one at GNU/Linux have a true alternative, something like Zorin OS or Linux Mint but with more Windows 7 look and feel , with the marketing of ubuntu can really sweep the market.
