Even Windows 8 Users Prefer Windows 7

Posted by timothy on from the 7-is-prime-of-course dept.

judgecorp writes "Windows 8 is not proving an instant hit amongst the early adopters who have got their hands on it. More than half of them prefer Windows 7, according to a survey by a Windows 8 forum. Skeptics cited fears of price and compatibility issues. Meanwhile, Intel is busily applying damage limitation to criticism by CEO Paul Otellini. Apparently he did say Windows 8 wasn't ready — but added that it was still a good idea to get it out before the holiday season."

    I don't hate you. Some retired and disabled people are a good fit for Windows 8.

    I'm sure most of the people in your assisted living home appreciate the new features. I mean what's not to like about providing easy access to the features the users need with very large icons so you can see them even with your cataracts while hiding everything you might do damage with.
