I didn't read the by-line initially, got about two paragraphs in and thought "Jesus, is this by Dvorak?" And it is. And I smiled. I remember howling with laughter at his anti-mac articles more than a decade ago, and this is funny for the same reason. Dvorak has always been utterly incapable of thinking from any perspective other than his own. For example, his hatred of the full screen mode for applications is almost certainly born from being a power user with a multi-monitor setup or a large hi-res display (that's how I see things too, but I also understand that the UI needs to work on things like a Surface or an ultrabook). Oh well, it was fun reading him again anyway. As many other people have pointed out here, the main thing MS needs to fix is the pricing point and the ridiculous number of options. It's an OS, stop with the Ultimate Edition nonsense and just sell one version of it at the lowest price point that works.
