I looked at the computers at Office Max yesterday and got to see Windows 8. It's rubbish! How are you supposed to do anything? As a Linux user, I've been so spoiled by the user-friendliness of Linux Mint, Puppy Linux, and antiX Linux. Windows 8 is even worse than Unity. I felt completely out to sea. There were some Windows 7 computers there as well, and Windows 7 (at least in the configuration I saw) didn't look that different from Windows XP, the last Windows OS I have significant experience with. I can't imagine how anyone who likes Windows XP or 7 will like Windows 8. Anyone who objects to Unity will hate Windows 8 even more. Microsoft today reminds me of General Motors during the Malaise Era. Windows Vista was Microsoft's Chevy Vega. I expect Windows 8 to go down in history as Microsoft's Chevy Citation, Cadillac Cimarron, or Oldsmobile diesel engine. -- Jason Hsu <jhsu802701 at jasonhsu.com>
