 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/17847&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Matt Imation&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname mention&quot;&gt;mrmattimation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; My issue with it was that Windows 8 RTM rubbed me wrong, very wrong. First off, why would I even want to learn an OS that quite honestly flopped ? Next thing you know Microsoft is announcing Windows 9 &lt;a href=&quot;http://pny.lv/371r&quot; title=&quot;http://pny.lv/371r&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow external&quot;&gt;http://pny.lv/371r&lt;/a&gt; , another reason to hold back on Windows 8 from my perspective. Now should you ask what Windows 8 did wrong, here's a couple of things. It has a split personality, trying to cater to both traditional mouse/keyboard users and touch-input users. The UI just feels like it was a step backwards to incorporate both methods and a &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; feature such as syncing wallapers. Hot Corners irk me a WHOLE lot. Another thing is really just &amp;quot;because everyone is doing it&amp;quot;, and I am talking about product integration. Google and Apple have a giant leg up on what Microsoft is offering currently and for some reason it is ( deliberately ? ) hard to just say &amp;quot;nah, I think I will use google stuff instead&amp;quot; without saying &amp;quot;stupid paperclip, go away&amp;quot;</html>
