Comment on Microsoft's Windows 8 Has Failed, Now What?

Comments

Don't worry Windows 8.1 aka Windows Blue will be out, for an additional fee to address issues with Windows 8.

Well actually no, it is basically a service pack to Windows 8 that is sold as a brand new version of Windows, but doesn't actually address any of the issues, but will make Microsoft richer anyway. Sort of like how Windows 7 was a service pack to Windows Vista. The only reason why Windows 7 was better than Windows Vista despite being the same damn thing, is they made better drivers for it from third parties and updated the apps to work with Vista/7 after they failed to work by releasing a new Visual Studio to upgrade to the new API calls and new Dotnet. I predict a Windows 8.1, and then a Visual Studio 2014 as well as a new Windows 2014 Server, SQL Server, Exchange Server, Outhouse/Outlook and MS-Office 2015, Sharepoint Server, Microsoft Deepthroating EUFI blackmail to run a non-MS OS on a brand new PC like Linux, FreeDOS, BSD Unix, Haiku, AROS, etc, and of course more FUD from Microsoft on the alternatives having a 'gasp' virus as to why they won't install unless you turn off that feature.

windows blue is a regular update which you can install from Windows Update without any cost.
