I bet I know which one most people would make.

I'd probably login to W8 after swiping a pic of me wife's boobs.

Well according to Micro**** (http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57345098-75/windows-8-to-let-you-use-a-picture-as-your-password/) it should work!

I once had an old XT that would crash happily without me gesturing at it.

Windows ME certainly had me gesturing furiously; as did Vista -lot of gestures at that one.

OK I'm not being very Christmas like, but the whole gesture thing smacks of creating a problem, where no one had previously existed.

Great for playing tennis with a games console or the like, but imagine a malign companion performing a "high five" and giving your pride and joy's system, the modern equivalent of an unconditional low level format of the primary boot drive.

Bah ! Humbug to the whole gesture thing.

PS: Happy Christmas and a Happy new year everyone.
