Dishing dirt: Have you seen the reviews of Windows 8?

Dishing dirt: Have you seen the reviews of Windows 8?

Friday, June 8th, 2012, Claire Wolfe

It’s been a long time since I’ve bothered to kick M*cr*$*ft. It’s become kind of a non-issue. In fact I was pretty impressed with the newest version of W******s that came with my laptop. (Never used it after the first few days, but it was jazzy, easy, and functional and it’s still on there as a dual-boot with Mandriva Linux.)

But boy, have you read the scathing reviews the upcoming Windows 8 is getting from its beta users?

If you want the gory details, here’s a 7,400-word analysis. And a shorter take.

Basically everybody is saying that no business or professional user will ever want to touch it. “Social” or casual users may find it fun — once they quit banging their heads on its hidden or missing features or its bizarre loss of familiar functionality (like the ability to have two apps open side-by-side).

Could M*cr*$*ft finally be about to make the error that will end its dominance of desktops and laptops — all for the sake of trying to compete with Apple on phones and tablets?

Kubuntu, or Winblows XP Black edition, do use 7, its been ok but I'll never go to 8, too damn much info mining and general all around snooping crap.
