The initial rapid sequence of changes was a signal of a new company attempting to find its identity. They found it with Windows, started dominating the market, and stayed with that identity for 25 years. Now they are fresh out of ideas that actually work so they once again are searching for a new identity without really taking time to understand the identity that made them great. They assumed it was that they controlled the market and that the market would accept any kind of crap they pushed out the door. However, it was the fact that the prior versions of windows allowed the market to choose the look and feel on an individual bases. Windows 8 stops that cold.
Apparently you think it's OK. I think it stinks. I can't use Windows 8 for my purposes BECAUSE I can't choose to configure it so that it looks and works MY way. I am the customer here and I get to decide what is right for me for my own reasons! It is totally irrelevant to me that others find Windows 8 OK.
