The thing that really worries me most is that the writing is on the wall for the failure of Windows 8, and they are completely ignoring it.
this is really telling.

everyone has been doing it. there has been a steady move towards this sort of deal for a long time. youtube's layout/functionality changes, forced upon users. facebook's forced changes. now this. i don't know what the fucking goal is (or if there is one), does this shit actually appeal to the drooling, retarded masses or something? i can't even begin to imagine how the fuck i would use windows 8 for more than ten seconds without killing myself. it is so counterintuitive, and so dumbed down, it hurts.

i mean there's dumbed down, and then there's "so dumb that your more intelligent users physically cannot use it". fuck the world. i'm sticking with windows 7 forever, looks like.
