[QUOTE="rlongnt, post: 2399445, member: 665"] I honestly think the biggest problem with Windows 8 is that it has a pretty steep learning curve. People are generally pretty lazy and don’t want to learn new things. Sorry, Haters are gonna hate.. My very young kiddos can figure it out just fine. This part reminds me of the Henry Ford quote: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” Wait…. No flames just yet I also think: • Microsoft really dropped the ball by trying to force the metro interface down the entire world’s throat. • Not including native out of the box support for DVD playback by leaving out a tiny $2 license fee for MPEG-2 codec and Dolby audio codecs is another major fail. • Defending this decision by claiming it would not be fair to tablet users with no onboard CD/DVD is laughable. • Something in the metro name, forcing it and supporting to the least common denominator sure smells like the color brown or DNC to me? Business as a whole has pretty much spoken and stayed with Windows 7. Microsoft may pick up business customers on the next pass just like nobody in business really adopted WindowsME or Vista. Like it or not new hardware not supporting older operating systems will make this happen sooner than later anyway. [/QUOTE]
