listen the issue here has nothing to due with being afraid of change it has to due with what people truly like and what is truly functional. the Windows 8 Metro UI was never truly designed with a desktop in mind seeing how the interface of it should clearly be on a phone or tablet...
in my personal opinion i wouldn't pay for the extra speed i just cant justify it seeing as i can go to my local Microcenter store (microcenter.com) and buy a 16gig micro SD card for around $10 and i recently bought a 32gig sd card for around $20.. now if i was doing something every day that i would need the extra speed for then yes i would spend the extra money.. and considering that i would never play a high resolution video from an sd card or usb drive let alone edit one as it is always much faster to transfer the file to the hard drive since the current r/w speeds of a hard drive are still faster than the speed of an SD card..
last time i checked the Android OS used a linux kernel... for those who dont know, for years now any and all distributions of linux have used java so whats the big issue here (thinking thinking thinking.......... oh wait what am i thinking for they are IDIOTS)
apparently 99% of the people that do this dont do it right. i dont even allow WPS to be active on my routers and i tell business that i do work for to disable the feature for the fact that it is a security hole.. and UPnP is the worst idea that has been done including WPS fix the holes or get rid of the software and find something new...
The reason we have such a thing going on is because of stuff like this... this is why i like OSS because if there is a problem i know that it will be fixed immediately instead of waiting for a patch to be released 6 months later. im not worried about China spying on us however i would worry about it if our government allowed something to be imported from another country without going thru some sort of software test before being sold...
growing up in the 90's i had something simmilar called steel tec construction sets and growing up back then i still wonder if i could have made some nice prototypes on a scaled down version of something that could have been made bigger

if you didnt know already i have seen some top of the line usb drives and sd cards fail more than the cheap ones
