It is getting harder to understand the sheer pig-headed stupidity of Microsoft. I've been using Windows since 3.1, and have finally given up with Windows 8. I detest the look, and the way they've tried to force this down people's throats, claiming it's such a cool, wonderful thing, the way of the future. When the truth is it looks horrible, and is a pain to use for those used to - and preferring - another way.
Most unforgivable, is that MS has had years to observe what Apple and Android are doing right, and to hoover up all the small independent apps for Windows that other do so much better. They could and should have produced something incredibly slick, absolutely beautiful and with hundreds of killer apps available from day one.
I never thought I'd see the day, but my next PC is very likely to be an iMac.
