I thought that it was pretty well established that Windows is in an alternating cycle of good and bad versions. Everyone freaks out during the bad part of that cycle, as Microsoft takes a bunch of bold risks, many of which don't really work out, and then a few years later they prune many of the bad decisions and release something reasonably solid.

- jinushaun 13y agoI think this doctor has run out of regenerations. Not the same world as before.
- amaks 13y agoI think Windows 9 (or whatever it's going to be called) will be a complete pull back into the classic desktop. By the time it ships there will be Modern UI only OS hybrid built with Office for the Modern UI finally caught up. They can all have the same underlying base OS (whatever it's going to be called) with different shells on top. But, I'm not sure how programming model is going to look like, unless they allow classic desktop Windows to run apps built for Modern UI in windowed mode (which seems to be the direction they are heading towards).
