8 is far more then just being dumb try "Fully Retarded"! You take a main central point where everything extends outward from and replace that with this over here hidden under that which belongs over there and then have more hidden where no one can find in unknown right click menus and toolbars and wonder why people want to dump 8 as fast as they get it?! -To perform the exact same simple tasks you now need to take extra steps as well as trying to have a blast keeping more then one window open without 3rd party help! While most will pin things on the taskbar if not running an app like Rocket or CircleDock and only use the Start orb and menu to shut down or sleep here I extend other things by copy and paste of shortcuts dragged into folders which become addon toolbars off of the main taskbar you still have the central point to refer back to in all previous after Win 3.1, 3.11 while 8 does away with the common sense desktop approach entirely simply to promote 8 tablets! "-Oh we shouldn't have much worry!" say MS as they scoff at desktop users who still have 7 to run about how 8 is something else entirely. "We gave them something good to last while we toy around with tablet and ARM to mesh it up with the Fruit Co. and Googleatabloidism!". MS has decided to flex it's mighty muscles and swat the blog writers and desktop users away(ignore all the complainers) while pursuing their assault on the competition! -In other words the entire focus is on mobile while "dumbing down" things for the desktop side of the OS. And then most are asking now if Blue will be what should have been originally a Desktop edition compared to 8 Tabletis? What MS was simply saying was this is our new Tablet version you can still run on a desktop if you like it or not! If you are only looking at getting the new without worry of conseqences from abandoning a working "Desktop" OS notably then you can point and click at enlarged tiles designed for touch and swipe on tablets on your 20" or larger lcd display. -MS of course would simply say: "Remember we are only selling 8 for the 13.1 and smaller screens in case you don't like how it looks!" And the word of advice goes to follow that Win 8 was never intended for the desktop to begin with just available as something new to toss on new OEM desktop pcs without regard there. MS is pushing RT and 8 on ARM and Surface Tablet as their main objective. -You don't think you would ever get a working av/malware program with any past version do you? Can't have complaints that the new Surface are becoming malware laced at all?! on the other hand! MS antispyware apps, Windows Defender, etc. have always been free and garbage never actually upto par in the av industry same going for the MSSE for Vista and 7 while what is now seen in 8 does actually? MS schemes at work!
