Every single credible voice in the IT world told Microsoft that Windows 8 was a very, very poorly thought out and implemented design. Every single credible voice in the IT world said that people would prefer to stick with Windows 7 rather than migrate to a new OS that required relearning everything that Windows did.

Microsoft ignored them all. The only word for that is hubris.

Because MS as every other large tech firm has been inundated with foreign workers and millenials who don’t no crap about making good, robust software but are all about diversity and social media over science. Oooh, look at our phone app it plays music and tells you where the nearest Starbucks is in 5 languages...

“Microsoft ignored them all. The only word for that is hubris.”

And I bet that the fools who designed Windows 8 will find a home running Obamacare, where they can ignore and poorly serve an even bigger customer base.

Trying to force the touch tablet interface to the desktop was a major fail.
