[AccessD] Ramblings of a nutcase

And even worse they can't possibly make enough of those crappy plastiky windows 8 (non) rocking 
chairs for the windows 8 fanbois that want them.

Luckily I bought the extended warranty on my comfy Windows 7 rocking chair.

Telling:

And when asked "Was Microsoft right to extend the availability of Windows 7 for business 
customers?," TechRepublic's panel of international business decisions makers responded yes 
unanimously  -- but their enthusiasm for Windows 7 seems to be linked to their lack of love for 
Windows 8.

and

Other tech chiefs made their voices heard too. Tim Stiles, CIO at the Bremerton Housing Authority, 
warned: "Acceptance of Windows 8 may never occur within the business community", while Brian Wells, 
associate CIO at Penn Medicine, said: "Many third party application vendors do not support Windows 8 
or its associated browser".

and

Matthew Oakley, group head of IT at Schroders, said "This recognizes, I think, that Windows 8 is not 
a really a business-ready platform and perhaps sets the scene for Windows 9 to be the main business 
migration."

I was rocking on my porch the other day, Windows 7 fanbois stretched as far as the eye could see.  
Out in the distance, I saw Gustav (having watched Shrek one to many times) jumping up in down waving 
his arms, yelling "Pick Windows 8, Pick Windows 8".

I will no doubt be back in the next year or two, when or if MS comes to their senses and decides that what I like matters too.  It turns out that Windows 7 support drops in 2020 so I have a loooooong time to hold out if I need to.  Hell, by then they will be off on a new jag, Windows 8 long forgotten.
