A Serious Proposal To Fix Windows 8
GMGruman writes "Windows 8 is simply not selling, and everyone but Microsoft knows it's a mess of an OS. And the Windows 8.1 'Blue' that Microsoft revealed some details of late last week doesn't address the fundamental flaws. So a team at InfoWorld worked up a serious proposal to rework Windows 8 for both PCs and tablets that fixes those flaws and lets Microsoft's true innovations break free of today's Windows 8, complete with mockups of the proposed Windows 'Red.'"
Red pill or Blue pill? Sorry, red or blue flavour of Windos.
InfoWorld reads like a woman's magazine you find at the checkout isles. Look today
"Don't trust anonymous
e-currencies like Bitcoin"
"Let's be clear: Cloud computing
will shrink the data center"
"Batten down the hatches -- it's
Microsoft reorg season"
"The right way to manage BYOD"
"Big Brother tech might be
America's last hope for health"
"Read me to learn how to suck a man"
Nice objective summary
Agreed. Despite the writer's obvious bias in saying "everyone but Microsoft knows it's a mess of an OS", the plain truth is that Microsoft knows it's a mess too.
I suggest also installing Trumpet Winsock in order to be able dial in to what is known as "the internet"

Suggesting Linux as an option to fix Windows is like proposing Esperanto to fix English.

An American, an Australian and a German walk into a bar. The American greets the bartender and says "I'll have a Budweiser please." The Australian says "I'll have a pint of Fosters, mate." The German considers things for a moment and says "I think I will have a mint tea, if you have any." The American and the Australian question the German's judgement, and in reply he simply shrugs and says "well, it's not like you're having a beer".
