[dba-Tech] Windows 8

Windows 8 viewers fall into two distinct groups. 

Those that hate it, which is by far the largest group and then there is the
"atta boy" groups, who's members would defend W8 to the death. Neither group
has supplied the basics on how the product actually works. It has always
been the, "I don't know and I don't care" group and the "I know but its
yours to find out" group and both groups are useless as far any sort of
assistance.

Here is a video, in which the orator tries to answer and demonstrate some of
the new Window's methods and feature as well as voicing some of his
concerns.

My prediction, is that the new Windows adoption will be a lack luster affair
and most of the current users will just hunker down with their Windows 7 and
wait for something better. I don't believe, Microsoft will ever convince a
majority of the current Windows users to migrate and eventually, the Windows
OS line will split into two distinct applications...which is what should
have been done in the first place.
