It's easy to add features but removing features will usually piss of consumers. I understand that they wanted a unified tablet and desktop OS but the way to do it would be to always use the tablet interface on tablets and offer the start menu and other traditional features as optional on first boot. Optional and advanced features are always welcome, but don't replace things I use daily without offering a way to use the old version. Maybe the new start menu / metro is better, but I don't have time TODAY to come to that conclusion myself. So I avoided Windows 8, because Windows 7 works and the time spent learning new things just didn't seem worth the new features. Good job Microsoft, thank you for fixing this. Windows 9 will be an important one. I personally think that they should look at what made Windows 2000, XP, and 7 so popular and focus on those features first. Look at what made Vista, ME, and 8 unpopular and avoid doing those things. That seems easy, good luck!
