Windows phone is damn good and I personally like Windows 8 especially with a touch screen monitor. I think MS is on to something and Ubuntu wants to make sure they have it covered once/If the "one OS" idea takes off. It is smart and if you do not like Ubuntu you can use one of the other distributions available.
- SG- 13y agoThe majority however don't like Windows 8 metro interface with a keyboard and mouse (the majority of Windows 8 users).
- freehunter 13y agoDo you have statistics on that? The only people I hear complaining about the Windows 8 interface are people who are not using Windows 8 (either have not used it or have switched back). I haven't heard that many people using Windows 8 and still complaining a year later.
- SG- 13y ago3/3 coworkers, all but one of my gamer friends that have tried Windows 8 (~10). I gave Windows 8 a shot for about 2 months before going back myself. The stats speak for themselves from MSFT's Windows 8 numbers, for the most part people aren't buying Windows 8 except for new PCs which is a forced purchase.
- ladzoppelin 13y agoWindows 8 is better in many ways which unfortunately many people do not notice or care. For example how can you not like the hardware acceleration benefits of Windows 8 (desktop) compared to Windows 7? The file system and font handling are also superior to Windows 7 which is huge for people who use a keyboard and mouse. I am only asking because maybe its a graphic card incompatibility that creates these bad experiences. Windows 7 is an awesome OS but Windows 8 is clearly better after using it in desktop mode for a week even on hardware from 2006.
