windows 8 is FAIL
Windows Server 2012 is FAIL.
(metro dashboard is FAIL.)
Do you know how long it takes a new user to figure out where the shutdown button is?
I can tell you, its take about 10-15 min for someone new to figure out how to shut down on windows 8 on average.
Its also kinda funny to watch as they struggle looking for the shutdown button.
Some of my IT friends on the first time got annoyed that they couldn't find it so they just held down the power button instead.
Its a no brainer everyone is forcing the CEO of microsoft to retire.

And it wasnt a nice ask either... it was a "GTFO"...
Meaning they were gonna fire him, if he didnt accept retirement.
^ that should tell u the success to windows 8 and server 2012, and all the other monkey stuff Microsoft has been doing lately.
He has completely destoryed what microsoft was in the past 3 yrs with windows 8.
He split up the community big time telling the hobbiest / professionals either we suck up to change or leave.
So most professionals said OK, we'll LEAVE....
They have also destroyed a gateway for developers to expand by getting rid of technet.
The company is an entire mess... I and many others have started putting up life rafts to get away from microsoft....
If possible i expect to move off microsoft on all my systems minus my gaming system by next april.
Windows 8... u figure of 75% of the audience beg'd microsoft for a start button, they would say SORRY, OK we'll put it back.
No instead they said go suck it up... or leave... but u cant cuz all the laptops u can buy outside mac's are forced with windows 8.
Hence your forced to use a third party ap, for a primary function which was built on windows that we were literally grown up on.
(well now u can download a microsoft ap to fix this... )
Sigh microsoft... I hope the new CEO FIXES a lot of stuff... especially things like TECHNET... and also puts windows8 under the rug quickly like they did with windows ME.
Which i felt was another sorry excuse for an OS...
<my rant with microsoft.... but im glad they themselves realize something is wrong and is forcing the CEO to take the walk... now they can try to recover...>
I understand people dislike the Metro UI.. and thats fine.. putting that aside it is an improvement over 7 and deserves the time to figure it out.
this is what they hopped for instead its not what happening.
IT dont even bother with the dashboard... they all HATE windows server 2012 mostly.
They just BMC into the machine and go around the metro dashboard madness.
what is so good about windows 8 over 7?
The majority of us speed users have SSD's. Even the medium tier desktop setups now use SSD's.
Whats the difference in bootup from windows 8 and windows 7 with SSD?
What is so special about windows 8, that windows 7 cant do with today's hardware?
I feel if it takes a new user more then 10 seconds to figure out how to shutdown the machine... the OS FAILED to begin with.
