Can't say I disagree…
"Windows 8 is a disaster in every sense of the word.
"This is not open to debate, is not part of some cute imaginary world where everyone's opinion is equally valid or whatever. Windows 8 is a disaster. Period.
"While some Windows backers took a wait-and-see approach and openly criticized me for being honest about this, I had found out from internal sources immediately that the product was doomed from the get-go, feared and ignored by customers, partners and other groups in Microsoft alike. Windows 8 was such a disaster that Steven Sinofsky was ejected from the company and his team of lieutenants was removed from Windows in a cyclone of change that triggered a reorganization of the entire company. Even Sinofsky's benefactor, Microsoft's then-CEO Steve Ballmer, was removed from office. Why did all this happen? Because together, these people set the company and Windows back by years and have perhaps destroyed what was once the most successful software franchise of all time." ~ Paul Thurrott
You can't disagree with an absolute fact. 🙂
I told the MS sales guy before Windows 8 was released why I wouldn't' be deploying it at our company "it's a fucking disaster", and he replied "yeah, I'm hearing a lot of that".
Ouch!!
I am thinking about a new PC, looked at Windows 8 and decided I would get another year out of my Windows 7 machine. The screen is cluttered with crap, almost all of it links to Bing and other MS crap, not to my preferred sources. Chrome keeps getting better.
