Please, do point out all these wonderful capabilities of Windows 8...
to date, no one has done so yet. All that has been spoken of is the new shell. What wonderful "NEW" capabilities are these you speak of?
As for MS and their marketing, all they see is Apple making beaucoups money. Money they feel they should be making. In their bid to gain a significant portion of this revenue, they have left their ongoing long-term revenue out in the cold. Specifically, the Enterprise Market. Only time will tell if this market will be migrating full tilt to this handicapped way of doing things . I for one believe there is going to be a migration alright enough. I just do not believe it will be the one MS expects. And while on the subject, MS should have learned from the long history of backlash they have received from this element of their revenue. There can be no doubt that people are tired of it and looking for alternatives.
Competition drives change and offers the world more opportunity. MS continuing to emulate Apple will go the way of one of their earliest examples of it. The Windows Media Player is still garbage no matter how much it tries to emulate Apples i-tunes. Another piece of garbage in my honest opinion. That said, at least Apple had valid reason to design it in the fashion they did. MS implemented it just to garner users familiarity with the manner in using it.
Can't wait to see the wonderful choices available to all if/when Apple decides to break into the Enterprise market. You laugh but consider this. If anyone knows what can happen with another entity being a decade ahead in the market Apple does. Let's not forget the CEO of Apple now and his background there.
Who in the hell is or ever has lauded the superiority of Windows Mobile? Windows phones are junk. Sure, lets build an OS patterned after our Mobile OS. What a joke.
