In reply to the discussion: Microsoft spectacularly fails: Early look at Windows 8 baffles consumers [View all]RomneyLies
(3,333 posts)It was designed for phones and tablets.
It was NOT designed for desktops and laptops.
I refuse to use a phone OS on my desktop. Fuck Microsoft. I won't buy it. If I have no other choice, I'll move on to MAC where I'll still be able to play most of my games.
I grasp precisely what they are doing.
They are failing miserably.
As a IT consultant, I will be recommending my clients to NOT upgrade to Windows 8 and to wiat until they release a REAL OS for the desktop or laptops.

The training shift to adjust to Windows 8 alone makes it a complete failure for the enterprise, especially when the costs associated with BYOD are being questioned at every level of the large corporations and are making targeted mobility the only real solution for moving forward. since Apple already owns the space, MS is late to the game and Windows 8 is further proof that Windows 7 is the last stable environment enterprises should standardize on for the desktop and laptop environments while moving highly mobile sales staff to the iPad for extreme mobility requirements.
