I wouldn’t go so far as to say MS is perfect but they have vastly improved over the past 1 to 2 years. I think they are doing much better without Balmer.
About 1 to 2 years ago I went to a Best Buy Mobile Outlet to get a phone battery for my Android and saw some thin laptops on display and about half of them were advertised to be running Windows 8 that had just come out. I tried them out and everyone of them had been sabotaged so that they would not work. I talked to the floor sales person and he said the Windows 8 machines would be fixed but each time after the next few days someone would sabotage them again. All the Macs were working just fine.
What does that tell you?
What does that tell you?
That windows 8 is so fragile, it can be screwed up by someone in minutes, even if it's just a demo model? That the "techs" at the place had no idea how to actually lock the things down so they couldn't be screwed with?
