This guy really shouldn’t be writing about technology.

Heh.

Then there’s the whole “Secure Boot” fiasco.

So, at the end of the day, besides all the other reasons I see for Windows 8’s forthcoming failure, I see Windows 8’s biggest rivals being the rise of Web-browser/cloud-based computers; it’s failure to keep up with Apple and Google on smartphones and tablets, but most of all, its own installed base is simply not ready to switch to Windows 8.

That sentence should be taken out and shot.

Windows 7 is the best OS Microsoft ever put out. There is no way we’re going to Windows 8, just like Vista, we sat with our XP until Windows 7 came out and totally skipped Vista, the same will be true for Windows 8, it’s a terrible idea that is destined to fail.

Folklore has it that every other MS OS is a flop - according to this Windoze 8 will be just that. We’ll see.

I have come to really like Win7 -- fast, stable, works great. I beat my user interface back into Win-2000 mode so I can find things, and it's wonderful.

Tiles? "Metro"? Yagottabekidding.

Win8's only excuse for existence is to serve the tablet/phone market, and for Microsoft's sake I hope it catches on there.

On the desktop, especially the corporate desktop, it's nothing less than a flaming disaster on rollerskates.

I dislike Windows 7...and the new Unity(linux) desktops. I lump those two together because they both have a habit of getting in your way. If your into clicking alot of stuff to find the thing you actually want to click...you’ll love it. But - I want to use my programs - not an “interface.”

I’m still running Ubuntu 11.10 - but have switched to the Cinnamon desktop - and all is good again!
