An example of Windows 8 dissatisfaction

This is not just some 'Joe Lunchbucket' who doesn't know his ass from his elbow, this is coming from someone who is paid to know for sure, and he speaks his mind in this article about Windows 8. 

When Microsoft foisted Vista on its unsuspecting customer base, and we all yelled and howled like hell and told them what we thought of that mess, and they decided to overhaul it and 'clean up their act' and turn it into Windows 7,
we thought that they'd learned their lesson about treating their users like shit.
Evidently, we were wrong about that, and from the looks of it, history seems to be repeating itself.

Windows 8 is only of any real use to users of mobile devices like smart phones or tablets or multi-touch devices like touch-enabled 'all-in-ones' and laptops.
Even though Windows 7 has always been capable of use on touch-enabled devices, the vast majority of its users, being users of desktops, have not utilized the touch features, because most of them are working on computers in a work
environment, and businesses have been reluctant to spend money on touch-enabled devices that they haven't felt were essential to the job at hand. Along comes Windows 8, because Microsoft, years late, has decided to challenge Apple in the market for mobile devices, and being inclined to throw its weight around, not to mention its money, Microsoft is doing whatever it can to push Windows 8 even onto users of Windows who have no hardware suitable for taking advantage of its touch features, and in doing so, it has made changes to the original operating system of Windows 7 which now require users of non-touch hardware to go through several additional steps compared to previously on Windows 7, simply to get logged on and onto the Desktop to start working.

Is this stupid, or what? Yes, it is stupid. There's no way more operations beats fewer operations in getting something done. If anyone ought to understand that, it ought to be Microsoft and its coders who have been refining Windows for decades now. They ought to have the old acronym 'KISS' tattooed on their foreheads, meaning 'Keep It Simple Stupid'. And just because slightly more than nine percent of the world's computer users are on mobiles, it shouldn't mean the other ninety percent of us are punished for Microsoft's being asleep at the switch when the mobile craze first took off several years ago. This is carrying the concept of 'engineered obsolescence' far beyond the comfort level, all the way to the utterly ridiculous. It isn't our fault that Microsoft had to devote its resources to fixing the mess that was Vista instead of using those resources to
compete with Apple for the mobile market. And just an 'FYI' here: We're still a 
long way from the day when the thumb-typers take over the world. And you can bet your sweet bippie on that, Mr. Sinofsky.
