I just started with Win7 last year, could not get Win 7 Pro, when I was ready to buy a new desktop. Computer OSs are like vehicles, minimum 1st service pack, or 2nd year for a big vehicle model change, to clear the major faults first. BTW the Vista never got installed on the old desktop.

Comment, fail. Flash works on win 8 just as it did on previous versions. It is winRT that cant use flash well, but now you can even white list sites, so even that shouldnt stop you. Maybe you should learn to use something before buying it and giving it to a user. What kind of IT department do you cowboys have?

Windows 8 works great on a desktop. The mouse and keyboard can do anything that touch does. The ones they say it is not true have never used it.

At least Vista was a fully opperating os–Windows Mistake 8 needs all kinds of 3rd party aps just to get it running on a PC—just try watching a blu-ray movie on it

How desktop pc user get benefit from it? do you ever use it on desktop? I think windows 8 is focusing on tablet or touch. But why Microsoft don’t think globally(desktop pc, laptop, tablet, smartphones etc)

You haven’t said why you consider it a failure. Just saying so doesn’t make it so.
I have it on a 5 year old laptop, and it works great well with the exception of the Bluetooth and which matters not since I have never used it. I would like to get a Win 8 tablet but not right now since I have enough gadgets as it is.

Maybe pc users can use this trick to increase your sales LOL

I think Microsoft has learned from Windows 7 that they should compete for the Apple market by making only two consumer versions and one Enterprise version .With the US goverment adopting Windows 8 and the success of the comercials, I think they will reach that goal in 36 to 42 months . The kids , the twenty something crowds and the Apple phone and Andriod users will adopt it real fast . The older XP generation will take time as they did with Windows 7 . They are so reluctant to change . This operating system even with the early bugs is the future of computing and the sync and Skydive are going to drive smart phone users to it .
