The problem is that Windows 8 must run on Desktops, Laptops, Smart Phones and Pads. The Pads and Phones are the largest market not desktops. To run on Pads and Phones Windows had to be streamlined (dumbed down) to run faster with less power. This plus the lower screen resolution required the UI revisions. Desktops are now second priority for Windows. IMHO, this is Microsoft shooting itself in the foot.

That's a lame excuse and you know it.

Find the independent reviewers or users or developers, ones who AREN'T either getting paid by Microsoft and who don't earn their bread by giving Lewinsky service to Microsoft for some other outfit -- just regular unbiased reviewers, users, developers -- who have a strong positive opinion of Win8 after using it for a while.

Few and far between, FRiend.

Microsoft is murdering its golden goose. Win7 is terrific -- fast, stable, secure. I can't fathom why they're killing it off, except that they're intent on committing seppuku in an effort to become relevant in the mobile space, something they can't seem to get their minds wrapped around.
