Microsoft wasted billions challenging Google

Yea but you are saying windows 8 has failed when the reality is it will flourish in a big way. The tablet market is massive, all they need to is success there. I don't like it but then i have not spent that much time on it. When it is released and has drivers i will make the switch for a minimum of two months before i say it's kuk.

It could be the best release they have had and it will also allow them to enter markets they currently have no foot hold in. I cannot see how it could fail in all honesty.

I have no doubt that there is a potential for growth in the tablet market, and I have no doubt that one day a microsoft operating system will be running on some of those tablets. But Windows 8 is not that OS.

Mark my words. You heard it here first. ;)

MS needs to split Windows 8 into two different operating systems. The one needs to be for tablets and touch screens exclusively. And the other needs to be the logical successor to Windows 7 for desktop PCs and laptops. You would think that much would be self-evident. Maybe they are intending Windows 8 to be a transition... but they made a mistake by trying to make it fulfill two functions.
