Hi DE, I agree with you somewhat...
However, I believe that MTsyko's point regarding "Wintendo Users" is directed at ALL users of any Windows OS.
That said, it is true indeed that Win 8 is a gaming console OS. Unfortunately, MS seems to desire it to be their mainstream one-size-fits-all OS. Screw anyone with any previous experience using the OS and that goes equally well for anyone desiring a "personal" look to the their "Personal Computer".
While many probably get a chuckle- I do not include you in this DE - when I mention that it is my personal feelings that there is a far greater and more malevolent purpose yet to be revealed behind this change. Why would anyone feel otherwise is all I can say. A new changing of the guard with executive management, a history of such tactics and the sheer power weilded due to the previous success of MS should be in and of itself enough to open most peoples eyes. And if that isn't enough, go to the inspiration for this ugly piece of crap OS -XBOX 360- for further validation of their intent. As for me, I'm jumping ship. They (MS) are not the only game in town. They are very rapidly assuming the position of not being the most convenient or dependable as well either. Sure, Windows 8 is cheap enough. You think that is going to last? And why is it so cheap anyway?
While I will continue to support Windows 8 for those clients who are new or have purchased such without my guidance, I will not recommend or guide anyone in doing so. What does this mean to MS? Nothing. But then, when did it ever?
