My first description was as follows:

take every cutesy thing to have ever come from the internet. Take every unlabeled icon ever invented. Take what works from the Iphone. Take a bucket of red paint, blue paint, and yellow paint. Chew it all up, swallow, the vomit the results on your desktop. That’s how much sense it makes.

Windows 8 only sucks if you have to use it. Microsoft is like Republicans. Just when something starts going right and they figure out how to do something well, the screw it all up and ruin it for themselves.

So can you please explain to some of us how we are able to use it with no problems?

You guys keep having to amp up the ridiculousness in your explanations in order to give you a reason why you cant figure it out, and never once realize that it may just be a personal problem and not a design flaw.

Yep. They should have learned from Apple. Instead of completely changing Windows 7, which everyone liked, they should come up with incremental changes that add a few key features with each iteration. Instead of Windows 8, have a Windows 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, etc., make each one a little better. Then, keep your Windows Phone OS, but make it compatible with Windows programs like Outlook, Word and Excel and scale it for tablets. Simple. But no, Win 8 had to work on PCs and tablets and be the same OS. How is that working for ya, MS?
