That did not improved my driving skill at all. It is better to watch WRC, it is more to daily driving, if you are always off-road kind of driver. :PAnyway, someone created this video a [..]

So you can figure it out once Windows 8 is ready for retail.Last year there was a release for Windows 8, it was beta if not mistaken. Now Windows 8 is at Consumer Preview version, so I think it should be quite stable with some bugs, which is expected. Hey, even iOS also have bugs.To download it, go the link [..]
