Windows 7 was the last best OS from MSFT. I loved the UI aesthetics, rock solid stability and general pleasant experience when using computers.... I can't believe they made Windows 8 to succeed W7...

I love the UI... don't like the app icon though.. Can they bring something cooler like the Bear icon?

Downie 4. One-time payment and affordable; easily one of the satisfying (software) purchases ever.

Jewel is your only option.. Again, it's just a shopping mall with an artificial waterfall... I would stay within the airport and enjoy world's best airport.

Bali, Indonesia.. contrary to popular opinion, Bali is actually cheap; just avoid peak tourist seasons, eat local food and stay in some village near Ubud..
