Takes some getting used to . . .
Wife got a new laptop about a month ago. It came with Windows 8.
To begin with, it was incredibly hard to initially setup and it crashed several times in the startup/setup process. This was very frustrating; especially for an Apple user! But, after a few hours, we were able to get it up and running. THis was a brand new, out of the box computer. It reminded me why I bought an Apple...
Once it was running, we looked at it and said, "now what?" Everything we knew about Windows was gone. She is S l o w l y learning her way around, but everything she does, she has to relearn. It took her 15 minutes to figure out how to "shutdown" one day.
As someone who worked in the corporate world and even had a stint as an IT Manager, I believe Microsoft really shot themselves in the foot with this one. The corporation I worked for and that has some 60,000 PC's, has just begun migrating to Windows 7 from NT and XP. There is no way they will ever use Windows 8. The training for 60,000 people would cost them millions and there would many man-years of lost productivity.
Sorry Microsoft..... FAIL
Just my opinion....
