I purchased the introductory Win8 Pro upgrade for $40, the UI was
ridiculous beyond imagination, but a quick Google search led me to
Classic Shell (now forked I believe) which restored sanity (the start
menu basically).  Once one did that, Win8 was a pretty great OS.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
