It's shit on a desktop. The moment Microsoft stops sucking its own ass and returns aero I'm in. Metro interface is nice on a tablet tho.

one of my best friends was a software engineer for them a few years back. I just asked him a few weeks ago what he thinks about the windows 8 reviews and he was completely unshocked by the lame rating everyone was giving it. He had a very interesting explanation...it all comes down to managment at microsoft. He said never buy an odd release from Microsoft, for "anything". Look at all the windows releases, look at the original xbox vs the 360. Every "even" release from microsoft is awesome, then since management is judged solely on how much they "change" from the prior release..they think change necessarily means innovation..all the managers on all levels are crawling up everybody's ass to make things "different". And that's why they have such high turnover cause basically you do something right there and you're immediately told to tear it apart and shit all over it instead of making small incremental improvements. So the odd releases always suck because of this, then they get things in order because their customers are telling them to jump off a bridge. It's an amazing "fuck you" to their customer base because they basically strong arm you into buying their new releases. Windows 7, which in my mind is the best product from microsoft i have ever owned, is not getting any more SP's. So within a year it's gonna a petry dish of trojans and malware. The fact that business's routinely tell them to go fuck themselves and stick with fucking win xp should tell them somehting....STABILITY MATTERS!! If even the tech monkeys out there are yelling that windows 8 is the worst thing they've seen come across their screens....then you've basically taken win 7 and fucked it gaping right in the ass. And why? So MS is gonna strong arm anybody that makes games for windows to run the newest direct x which win 7 may not support....so it's a giant fuck you. Nice.
Agreed. When they stopped releasing sp for Xp. I almost jumped to Mac. What thy are oing is copying the apple model to basically bring our os with you everywhere. Slate, windows phone, windows 8. It's exactly what apples been oing since iOS. Fully integrate mobile devices and stay home devices.
i will stick with win 7
Gizmodo.com has all the shortcut commands in n article you can get your classic desktop back if you want

why do you find it hard to beleive that not many people give a rats ass about win 8?
It's the opposite for me. I've actually read quite a number of positive Win 8 reviews. There ARE cons, don't get me wrong, but most of the people I've read reviews from have all said they like the direction MS is taking the Windows OS. I guess it all depends on preference.
Besides, as with most things...you can't please everyone. Microsoft decided to reinvent Windows; now x-amount of people "hate" the new UI, y-amount love it. If MS decided to keep the classic UI, I bet x-amount of people would be complaining about how the design of Windows has become stagnant, and y-amount still eat it all up (just look at Apple's iOS).
There will always be people that will complain about change, and there will also always be people that will complain about non-change. Guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles. lol
