I don't like their pie chart. It would have been nicer if it was simplified where it matters. The many tiny slices of Mac OSX are so trivial, they should have been made one slice. Linux should have been given a proper slice as well.

OK so MS now that you double failed with Windows 8 new "start menu" - metro - or whatever you like to call it, can you get back in making UI for desktop computers?

I mean... damn this metro is a good idea, even if you got it from the OSX mission control, and I mean I don't care where you got that idea from, I just want you to tweak that UI so it can help me work faster on my computer and not slower.

And MS, really, you don't have to change things for the sake of change, just make them work.

Thanks, kisses.

If I had a dollar for every lie Microsucks has told, I'd be a billionaire like Billygoat.

In general, slow adoption rate of Windows 8 shows two things: the Windows 7 is good enough for the majority of consumers and that they do not want to transit to an operating system with unfamiliar interface.
Slow adoption of anything these days is simply due to not as many being purchased compared to years ago-- it is the economy-- where the daily life priorities of most folks outweigh even the advantages of Windows 8 and cause them not adopt it.

I realize many enthusiasts forget not everyone is as financially well off to dismiss the influence of the economy or competition, but to forget that regular folks don't share our passions (that not getting Win 8 must mean they don't like it either) is out-of-touch.

MS should concentrate on improving windows usability/features instead of dictating HOW we should (according to MS) use windows

The arrogance is just mind boggling, thinking they could re-define how we should interact with the desktop
