I like Windows 8 and love my Surface RT. But the OS does need some work. They need to make all the OS settings work in Metro mode. Right now I have to open IE on the desktop to change certain browser settings like my search engine. That is silly. I bet with Windows 8.1/Blue they will correct a lot the issues. Windows 8 RT is a much better UI and OS than iOS. They are on the right track.
I also got a Windows Phone 8 (Lumina 920) and I like it and the UI and OS is more modern than my old iPhone. But all the apps are rough. I mostly use Facebook, Twitter, Maps apps. That's it. They are all sort of buggy compared to their iOS counterparts. Again they are on the right track but the lack of users is leading to subpar apps by developers, which leads to fewer users.... And me missing my iPhone some days.
I don't think Windows 8 has failed as it shows so many great things for their direction. Perhaps it was more of a Vista release that just needs a follow up to perfect. Lets hope Windows 8.1 does it.
