Right. I use a Windows phone 7 and prefer it over the other options. Perfectly happy with it. But I also extensively use Android tablets at work and support iPhones and every other O/S of any significance in the workplace. What has all this to do with Windows 8? Maybe nothing. Maybe its a frustration with all the O/S snobbery I read. It's worse than pitting Democrats and Republicans against each other. I have had a blast playing with all these smartphones and computer operating systems over the years...and big surprise...duh, they all have their highs and lows. It would be good to take a lesson from a true synthesist (I can say that now after 30 years). I'm good at what I do and I embrace the best of each new innovation...even Windows 8, but make no mistake...yes, I shake my head and wonder where Microsoft comes up with some of this stuff. Still, I'm in IT. It's stressful enough. Lighten up and enjoy the ride.
