Exactly.
Recently, I had to buy a new laptop. I was out of town and my Vaio died. At the store, I was confronted by a myriad of new laptops. The salesperson showed me Windows 8. It looked like my smart phone.
I already have a smart phone. I already have a tablet.
I want a computer.
I bought one of only two laptops left in the store with Windows 7, and haven’t regretted my decision.
Yup.
Microsoft learned nothing from Canonical. I like Unity and I think the interface works on every kind of device you migbt have.
Mark Shuttleworth was smart enough to pick ONE interface and aggressively improve it. I find it intuitive and easy to use.
A dual interface Windows was Microsoft’s worst idea. What was wrong with the Windows 7 Aero user interface that needed to be fixed? Windows 8 with traditional UI/Metro is a worse disaster than Vista.
