Microsoft Prepares Rethink On Windows 8
jones_supa writes "Microsoft has confirmed to be preparing to reverse course over elements of Windows 8. 'Key aspects' of how the software is used will be changed when Microsoft releases an updated version of the operating system this year, Tami Reller, head of marketing and finance for the Windows business, said in an interview with the Financial Times. Referring to difficulties many users have had with mastering the software, she added: 'The learning curve is definitely real.'"
While this decision is generally being framed as a frantic backtrack for Microsoft, it comes as the company has recently passed 100 million Windows 8 licenses sold. Clearly they see this as more of a course adjustment than bailing water from a sinking ship. Microsoft also plans to preview the update called 'Windows Blue' in June.
Bullshit. The deck is stacked against Microsoft here. On Slashdot in particular there's very little Microsoft can do without the haters making Score: 4/5 posts about their actions.
Like the OP I'm also no Microsoft fan. I just refuse to be part of the circlejerk of Microsoft hate that only seems to exist on Slashdot these days. Everyone else on the net has a more varied selection of opinions.
You're about as tough as your name, sweaty porn-crotch-itchy fucktard. Go sweat your obese, carb-O-scurvy droplets on someone else's Cheerios. Sorry to be off topic and feeding the Trolls again, but AC left his shrimpy limp dick out in the front yard again...
