Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
MS dropped the ball in assuming that the mobile interface was a one stop solution for all forms of computing, then compounded it by losing the start menu too, bad mentality, I expect they felt because they had done similar with the Office suite and it's fricking stupid 'navigation ribbon' that they could make what changes they liked and we'd all go along with it quietly....

I expect if things like start8 and windows classics apps hadn't been available, the complaining would have been much worse, and we'd have had change already. I know If I'd been forced into metro only I'd not have gone with Windows 8 as my desktop workflow isn't practical using that type of device interface.

What will be interesting will be how the new CEO will choose to play things, and what Windows 9 will be like. Ballmer wasn't.... entirely right in the head.
