Don’t forget in the latest OSX, it used some of the best features from iOS. It’s all about combining the best feature.

No, it’s all about bringing in the best features, and then making themwork.

When Apple brought the App Store over from the iOS, it worked because the user could ignore it, and even if not, it worked well and blended in. It was also very easy to use, and not just because millions of people were used to using it in iOS.

When Apple changed the directionality of trackpad scrolling from the iOS, it worked because if you didn’t like it, you could turn it off. It was also very easy to use, and not just because millions of people were used to using it in iOS.

When Apple brought the Launchpad from the iOS, it worked because it was an added feature, and you could ignore it and still launch with the Dock. It was also very easy to use, and not just because millions of people were used to using it in iOS.

Windows 8 is changing some of the most-used features around, not making it clear, and not making it easy at all to go back to what you prefer. And since nobody uses Metro anywhere yet, it’s not like anyone knows how to do any of this from prior experience.

What is most ironic: when Microsoft itself argued why Windows is better than Mac OS, its biggest point was that people are familiar with Windows and they don’t like having to learn a new way of using their computer. Windows 8 works toward removing that advantage.

Well played, Redmond.

I say Tim Cook will fail.

Don’t forget in the latest OSX, it used some of the best features from iOS.

It’s all about combining the best feature.

I really think Tim Cook is more of a figure-based person, rather than someone who’s visionary like Steve.

Search “12 Lessons Steve Jobs Taught Guy Kawasaki” on Youtube you will know what I mean – Tim can’t even present the product on his own.

By making such a statement, he is ruining the long friendship that Steve & Bill had built.

That’s why – I say Tim will fail.

Now, for the confused people, Microsoft expects you to play around with the start screen than the desktop. The desktop should be least used unless, you have some apps which are not metro-compatible. Of course, you can pin the desktop app to start.

Now, for god’s sake, Read the help(from the start menu, type Help and get help)

To me, this sounds a lot like the abortive craze over netbooks–people were really excited about getting a PC for a few hundred bucks, but didn’t realize the trade-offs that had been made in performance, and huge numbers of people were disappointed.

The Windows users I have seen try the preview come away frustrated and confused, most of all puzzled that this is Microsoft’s big new offering.

I am not claiming to know what it’s all about–quite the contrary, I am one of those confused users who would really like to know what it is I am missing about this new release. What, is it just that a full-fledged OS will be coming to tablets with the power to run them? Or is there something behind the curtain I haven’t come across yet?
