I’m not a Windows user and I know this is not a popular opinion, but… I really wish Windows 8 had been better received. Sure it was a huge break from Win<8. But it was a bold, thoughtful and thorough one, with a lot of potential. Refining Metro but ultimately sticking to its core ideas would almost certainly have produced a better Windows experience overall than the basically incoherent changes which followed.
- nyanpasu64 5y agoI'm convinced Windows 8 is a better tablet OS than 10. I don't know if it's a better desktop OS.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoIt wasn’t a better desktop OS, but it was a just as good desktop OS with potential to become a better one.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoWhat I don't understand is why they decided to shoehorn Windows onto their tablets instead of the Windows Phone OS. Windows phone was well received, it would have made far more sense. Apple could see that wasn't going to work, why couldn't Microsoft.
- jenscow 5y agoWell, you're right about one thing, > I know this is not a popular opinion
- eyelidlessness 5y agoI also wish the Zune and Windows Phone had succeeded. I’m not very good at gambling either. It’s good to recognize one’s strengths or lack thereof :)
