Yes. Regardless of what M$ might say, Balmer is being fired for Vista and Win 8. Two major losers. I have worked with both Win7 and Win8. Win8 is not user friendly and a clunker but under the hood, it has improvements. If M$ had been smart, instead of trying to change personal computer dynamics with a forced Apple-style interface and left the decision to a choice by the user as to the interface, it would have been much better for them, and the comsumers. Big egos got in the way.
Too bad. Let’s hope that Win9 (or 8.2) bring back the choice of start menu for the user.
I agree. I will say that Win-X is closer to it in 8.1 than in 8.0. But why in the name of all that is holy did they make it so hard to turn the durn thing off? (sound of hyperventilating...)
I am surprised that MS 8 lets people change their wallpaper...
