What a stinking pile of dog shit this operating system is. The Metro interface is all cloud based which totally eliminates any sense of privacy and security for the end user. On top of that, the desktop is now cut down and has the start button castrated. Finding one's way around is now guesswork since the OS offers no visual clues as to what the fuck is going on. The file manager now incorporates that totally fucked up ribbon bar - the one that everyone hates. It's inclusion was made to piss everyone off no doubt.
This operating system was designed by fuckheads - for fuckheads.
MicroSHIT is well and truly finished now that this putrid garbage has appeared since no sane person would want to run such an obnoxious and intrusive pile of shit.
Google can just sit back and watch as the MictoTitanic sinks rapidly into the abyss.
Quoting: User ID: 1748197 16007130 I saw this coming a long time ago. Before Win 8 was even in beta, I knew it was going to be shit.. why? Every other OS Microsoft releases is shit.. why? The answer is simple, more business.
Let's go back to Win XP. Great OS, everyone was happy with it.. so of course Microsoft has to release a new gem, Vista. They get business from people who "upgrade" from XP, and even if they are unhappy with the new OS, you can not return software.. so you're stuck with it. In addition, all new PCs came pre-loaded with Vista, so if you wanted to "downgrade" to XP, you had to buy XP all over again for your new computer. Dell even had an option to have XP installed on your new computer instead of Vista, but it actually cost EXTRA to have this done. More business for Microsoft. Eventually Windows 7 was released, drumming up still more business as everyone still unfortunate enough to be running Vista quickly upgraded to the new operating system to get out of that crap hole.
Now the cycle repeats. Windows 7 is a good OS, but investors are getting antsy, they need more money, more and more and more. So what's the solution? Release a new shitty operating system that no one will like. It will drum up more business by forcing people who buy new computers pre-installed with Win 8 to buy an additional copy of Win 7, and will also trick people in to "upgrading", further earning them fat dollars.
Expect Windows 9 to be pretty good, Microsoft knows people will be wanting to upgrade out of Windows 8. Right now the only option is to buy Win 7 and "downgrade", but they won't be able to charge quite the premium that a new operating system would garner.
Basically, greedy corporate shitbags being greedy corporate shitbags.
