Do the blowhards at MS understand and acknowledge the fact that everyone who uses a computer wants it to behave like a computer and not a phone, or are they all giving each other high fives, thinking they are software marketing geniuses by renaming, relabeling, and reskinning everything so it looks like a 4-year-old's toy?

Seems to me like every new version of Windows is just a way to keep people paying for training courses to learn where the developers moved everything and what it's all called now. It's getting old.

the thing is that i suspect its ENTIRELY the marketing team pushing for all these bullshit changes. Windows 8 is excellent from a development standpoint, they added some nice features and made a lot of tools a lot nicer looking and functioning.... and if you replace the start menus convoluted bullshit? oh the same structure still exists hidden underneath the APP style bullshit and they didn't actually move much at all, just put a shitty marketing mask over it all. the microsoft marketing team is probably getting desperate and probably has a fire lit under their ass to not let Apple marketing leave them in the dust (because face it, apple can sell inferior products for more money - hands down).

recently my office was robbed and they took 2 MacBooks that were pieces of junk and over 4 years old, but left the stack of brand new windows laptops that were worth significantly more, simply because of how much better marketing apple had from doing the exact things you mention as annoying for windows to do. simple people want toys, and there are more simple people than people who care about solid technology.
