Couldn't agree more eaglewolf! It is glaringly obvious to me that their goal is less to do with making their OS more productive and much more to do with trying to get everyone to believe that newer always = better! Because if they can get them to believe that and they will upgrade to Windows 8 and will then be much more likely to take the next step and also invest in a tablet! Improved Productivity v Profit? Obviously profit will always win hands down because MS are a business whose sole aim (naturally) is to make as much money as possible.
