Riddick: Then you got to get sent to a slam, where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. You dig up a doctor, and you pay him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs. Jack: So you can see who's sneaking up on you in the dark? Riddick: Exactly.
For me it's quite simple Windows 8 interface doesn't make me more productive.
Looking at my physical desktop, I don't have fancy clocks, tons of post-its, shinny gadgets... No, just a couple of books, some papers. I don't want distractions. I want to be focused on my work.
I'll leave Windows, I'll return to GNU/Linux now that it's more matured, tons of great applications an a solid OS.
Check it out, it's called Code Browser . It's a lightweight and powerful editor that allows you to visualize, structurate, link, organize, comment and edit code.
It's my favorite one for very large projects with houdreds of files and thousands of lines.
From the project's description:
"Code Browser is a folding text editor for Linux and Windows, designed to hierarchically structure any kind of text file and especially source code. It makes navigation through source code faster and easier." "Code Browser is especially designed to keep a good overview of the code of large projects, but is also useful for a simple css file. Ideal if you are fed up of having to scroll through thousands of lines of code. "
There is another non-official 64 bits port of Slackware called "Bluewhite64". This is a pure 64 distribution (support for 32 bits is availabe as an extra package if needed).
Bluewhite64 guys try to keep this distro as similar as possible to Slackware (packages, scripts, organization, etc).
I have been using this distro for months now, and I it does the work nicely.

A base problem is that science is taught in schools like religion. "You have to learn this because it's in the book, you don't need more evidence". Science should be taught by means of experience, and argumentation. If not, at the end students feel that there is not difference of how science and religions are build, and is just a matter of choice.
Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
