Microsoft can’t risk the enterprise desktop in exchange for the mobile consumer market.

I don’t believe them as they already stated they were doubling down on the Metro 2.0 interface, now called something else.
Metro interface being also known as “Idiocracy butthurt screen”.

I will be vastly surprised if they actually do something different.

I can just see a Win 8 development meeting and some flaming Washingtonian all excited about including ‘charms’ in the OS.

His desk is covered with My Little Ponies.

Anyway, I think MS is waking up to wear their bread is buttered and it’s not on Surface.

What the heck is a “Metro app”? Something to do with metrosexuals?

It is way way way too early to be giving an opinion on Windows 9

So 9 is what 8 should have been. There's no reason they couldn't have developed it this way in the first place. It was simply their stubborn attitude.

Microsoft knows that if they continue to slip behind Apple, Google and Samsung Operating Systems then they will eventually be toast.

Technology is now advancing exponentially. It will keep getting faster and faster. You remember were you were 15 years ago 1999? I sure do and we have advanced a lot technology wise since then.

So what is the next 15 years. Look out for biotech, quantum computing, automation, and the nanobots that will give you access to the internet Cloud via the nanobots.

For instance, the nanobots will upload your health info in the Cloud, and then advise you as you jog, travel, etc... So when you think you will be able to access the web as long you use the Nanobots.

Windows 8 lost money because the business world didn’t accept it, they make little in comparison from the consumer end.

They need to put Windows Media Center back in. Otherwise, Win7 will remain as the go-to OS for HTPCs.
