Sad part is there is nothing really wrong with 8. Just nothing to make anyone want to get it. Simply too soon and following a really solid win7.
They should have just focused on a new mobile OS and an overall upgrade to win7 that allowed the strong inter-connectivity for free on top of win7. Part of a normal patch/upgrade to the OS.
This way the desktop and laptop could stick with what works and then been easily and immediately upgraded to utilize the new Windows Store, Live, and mobile OS integration while the mobile OS saw the large upgrade to a new version with some different name entirely.
I guess making it a $40 upgrade was a good start, but they really shouldn't be forcing a touch UI on a keyboard/mouse dominate system. Should be defaulting to the "normal" UI and only have that as an option to turn on for those who like it better.
