The Windows 8 and other failed Microsoft products thread - Windows 8 "relaunches" Feb

[Limited]

Since they are trying to become major players in other spaces, they can't afford to keep going with such a narrow typecast.

But they are using the freaking Windows logo. If I ask anyone non tech savvy, and show them the 4 panels, and mention its a logo that represents a technology, they will think Windows...yet you say Microsoft are trying to branch out.

I just find it funny, that they are trying to branch out, but trick consumers by using a very familiar look. It even uses the same font.

Like I said, even removing peoples perception what company they are going on. The spacing is awful and what the hell is the F and the T joined?

Did you...just change your avatar <>? Your posts are no longer branded as BMW ~~! And your logo's size out performs that of your username's so now I'll associate your posts as Corvette posts!

I'M ON TO YOU!

It's the exact same avatar I used at one point

But they are using the freaking Windows logo

They're using the same colors the old Windows quasi-panels used, but they're not using the Windows logo (both the old and new have different window paneling styles, the MS panel is made of plain old squares). I do believe MS started off with just making OSes, so I'm pretty sure they're safe with taking their flagship product and integrating it into their new MS logo (especially if we go with Warsaw McGraw's claim of avg joes not consciously making the connection that Windows is of MS). Oh and then there's the fact that it's just a simple fucking four square dealo.

It's really no different from the way Google uses the same four colors in their Google logo and then those same colors in their Chrome logo's circle jazz

this is more tech-oriented, and not entirely about W8, but still about W8: http://rcecafe.net/?p=225

DON'T TOUCH MY CHEESE, NIGGA!

It looks like Microsoft took the cheese and put it on that over-sized mousetrap known as Windows 8.
