I went to open my calculator this morning and it told me it was in the middle of an update and to try again later. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes later it still wasn't done. I ended up using Google to calculate some basic math! How does Microsoft screw up such a simple application?

Any app that prompts m for a review is an automatic one star.
Welcome to windows. They have finally started bringing out great laptops, but I can just never go back to Windows.
But now the UI is made with XML. XML is cool. The execs read that in a magazine.
