I'm not gonna lie. Windows 8 should be aimed more towards tablets and not as an actual desktop OS. Microsoft has been doing a lot of messed up stuff after their release.
Yep I agree Wings I reckon they should have stuck to tried and trusted methods and developed a system for separate use with those other thingys, and just made 7 a bit more faster.
As it is I think they lost a lot of kudos mucking around like they have and it must be costing a fortune to get things back into shape.
Personally I work in a health dept that has just gone over to 7 from XP and mate a majority of the staff do not know how to use a computer let alone work a system. So in my mind 8 in the Metro format is and always will be an absolute disaster in that using it on the computers as a main stay of data collection and reference especially the line of work I am in just that our workload has become ever greater and more complex. (I might add the main push in my profession is one of electronically recording just about everything now and for the future period.)
Going from XP to 7 has been more challenging even to those who can use the computers than anyone could imagined let alone those who are computer illiterate. So add to that the inability of the workforce to operate a computer let alone the system is nothing short of madness.
This is just one instance where I think that Microsoft haven't or didn't see coming hence the furore there is around the 8 system now, and I am only talking of my work place, there must be more work places so affected. In fact that yours, mine and everyones health for that matter could be put at risk by ever more complicated methods and systems that an average worker cannot use with confidence, efficiency and most scary of all anyone's safety.
