Windows 8 has finally got the update that people wanted. Direct boot into desktop, start button is back, improved customisation over tiles and IE11 but to name a few of its improvements.
None of these are keeping people happy. In part, I cant blame them. IE11 seems to be incompatible with some key websites, RT users have had significant issues, to the point where Microsoft have now pulled the Windows 8 RT 8.1 update from their site and lastly, I am lead to believe that the install is 3.5Gb. I cant be sure if that last statement is true, but if it is, and you have a basic broadband package, thats going to eat quite heavily into it. Especially if you have more than one Windows 8 PC.
Someone managed to categorize Microsoft to me the other day. I feel that its not a bad metaphor. They described Microsoft as a ship, blowing in the direction what ever the wind decides. To rudder and no real captain guiding the ship.
There brand placement is lost. What does Apple stand for, innovation. Volvo, safety. Microsoft, no idea!
They are a lost ship and need to sort out the quality of there products and there direction and do it fast…
