Oh, and MS just bought a bunch of domains that include XboxFusion. So...probably going to be some fusion involved.

Different doesn't mean better and easier doesn't always mean easier. Ever try setting up bluetooth on Win8? Its a real pita. Some things are easier in Win8 and really after about 30 minutes of playing with it its not too difficult to use, but adding 5 extra steps to getting to the control panel wasn't smart imo. Nor was a lot of the changes they made to hide shit from the average users.
I kid you not - I went into Best Buy to have some cameras fixed and while I was there, no less than 5 different customers came into the store for Geek Squad because they couldn't figure out how to turn off their laptop. MS freggin hid the button to shut down the device! lol
I didn't have a problem finding it from time spent playing with Linux distros but yeah, I don't know what they were thinking on that one.
