No one that you know likes Windows 8. Well, that dooms it to failure. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that your friends wont make or break this product. There are going to be 500 million people who do like it. All the Apple fanboys and Microsoft haters criticizing Windows 8 probably haven’t even used it. I’ve been running it for months. It convinced me to switch from OS X. Its that good.

Wait, this is the opportunity! Yes, 2013 will be the year of Linux on the desktop! LOL

Actually I think you are wrong. I can see Microsoft stalwarts hating Win 8, but I can see the Apple cult secretly liking the interface, or stating their love for it publicly. This is a case of Microsoft leading from behind like tryin to be like Apple even though Apple has what 10% of the marketshare?

It’s amazing the lengths people have to stoop in order to try to paint Win8 as the most horrid thing they’ve ever used, but will proudly say they use Android, iOS, or goodness knows what flavor of Linux they have going.

The problem is, just like with Democrats, they over do it and make them look really goofy when real people sit down and actually see what the fuss is about and walk away liking what they were told to hate.
