Microsoft's mad rush to try and combine the PC and phone/tablet OS is really misguided. I don't know if they think that they can leverage the desktop again, the way they did with IE, but people aren't going to switch to a Windows 8 phone/tablet just because they have Windows on the desktop. And that's assuming people having Windows 8 on the desktop. There's a good reason that Vista uptake was so low, and that's because there was no desire to upgrade. Once you've got a good working system, making fundamental changes to it is the last think you want to do.
I guess from their point of view, they've backed themselves into a corner of coming obsolescence, so they have to gamble to try and break into other markets, but I can't see this paying off for them. W8 is going to be worse than Windows ME, Vista, etc.  |

Metro will not catch on the desktop, especially in the enterprise. So he is absolutely right about Windows 7 being the "biggest enemy". (Which is weird, coming from a Linux columnist)
If Windows 8 gets deployed at all... it will be with Metro disabled via group policy. However, probably most IT shops will just skip it, like they did with Vista. |

John Byrne had an awesome run on X-Men, Fantastic Four & Superman. 
I really miss Art Adam's X-Men artwork of the 80's. |

I agree. I finally got around to using 7 in the past year. I'm just not interested in 8. It doesn't even seem to have interesting features.

I kind of agree with the Windows 8 prediction. I think the biggest killer for Windows 8 will be Windows7. Too many people were standing by and waited for a long time before finally moved on from Windows XP to upgrade to Windows 7, W8 is too early and I don't think it will offer so much more that people are ready to upgrade yet again.
Not to mention a lot of people are still on XP. I know I will not upgrade to 8 for a while. Win7 works just fine for me, and I see absolutely no reasons to upgrade. |
