| Boutros said: What are they thinking anyway? Windows 7 came out only 3 years ago. I could understand Windows 7 coming out only 2 years after Vista because Vista was bad but there's no reason for me to change to Windows 8 so soon since I'm satisfied with Windows 7 right now. |
They are trying to push forth a new business model. With the success of touch screens and tablets they wanted to make a Windows that could serve both markets. They also are trying to close up their OS so they can control their service offerings. The whole living room push is involved in this too. They want to get a piece of that pie and create a uniform system that would work in all markets. It is kind of a money grab I guess, it definetly isn't Microsofts normal MO.
I am interested in W8 because of the improvements but since I abhor metro and the way they integrated it I am going to go with Windows 7.
Oh and they are probably trying to use Windows 8 as a way to increase their game offerings...and in turn their subscription services. Like how they tried with Games for Windows Live. Except them to bark up that tree again.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
