I find the "charms" in Windows 8 to be the biggest annoyance since the start menu in Windows 95. Aside from that and the crap driver support for my brand new PC I like it.

I think that depends. In tablet mode Charms are excellent and provide a lot of standard functionality that is missing in Android and iOS. I agree, using a mouse and in the corners on the right by accident can be annoying, when it pops up for 'no reason'. But that doesn't happen all that often, once you get used to it.

Windows 7 doesn't have dual lock screen either. Multi-monitor support on 8 is better than 7 as well, finally, the taskbar is on all screens, no more having to move the cursor back across multiple displays to activate something on the taskbar!
Indeed - the multi-display support is much better especially with projectors.
I do love the taskbar being on all screens but it is a shame that only one can have the system tray and clock. It's getting better but it's not quite Xfce yet.

I've seen that before and it always reminds me of the same thing: a flying llama game for MSDOS, where the llama would fly (in space I think) and shoot lasers or something.

Nope but it was this:
Quote:
Revenge of the Mutant Camels
A sequel of sorts to Attack of the Mutant Camels (also known as Advance of the Mega-Camels), this time the player controls a camel. The camel is armed by default with small blue shots, but can obtain other weapons and weapon upgrades by collecting power-ups during the game.

In all but the Commodore 64 version, the camel is teamed up with a bipedal goat, who can be controlled either by the computer or by a second player. If the camel crouches down, the goat can mount it and ride on its back, enabling them to focus their firepower.


I'm sure the tagline was something like "it kicks the llama's ass" or similar. I mean seriously, a goat that sits on a flying camel? What were they smoking? All I know is as a teen, it made sense and it was fun!

Putting movie news and articles under a site called Gamesradar.com might be hard to pull off.
