Apparently one of the world&#8217;s most well known Microsoft fans thinks so.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really hard to find non-Microsoft blogs and articles which rave about Windows 8 &#8212; but it is very easy to find articles and blogs critical of Windows 8. And it&#8217;s not so much that Windows 8 is so bad, it&#8217;s so bad because Microsoft completely ignored their core customers: the enterprise and the consumer.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has recently published articles pushing the remaining Windows XP users to move to Windows 8. Perhaps they wouldn&#8217;t have had to plead so long or so hard had they listened to their most important customers &#8212; the personal user and the corporate users &#8212; neither group is embracing Windows 8, in fact, they&#8217;re avoiding it.<\/p>\n<p>And I know some of you love Windows 8, and that&#8217;s fine. I don&#8217;t find it so terrible that I can&#8217;t use it, but I perfer Windows 7 because I&#8217;m a laptop user who doesn&#8217;t use a touchscreen (although I can &#8211; my tablet has one); I&#8217;m comfortable with a mouse and keyboard. Those who are not, and those with touchscreens may find Windows 8 their cup of tea, and if you&#8217;re one of those, you won&#8217;t like the next update of Windows called Windows 8.1, Update 1.<\/p>\n<p>The jury is no longer out with the Windows 8 verdict &#8212; it&#8217;s in, and it&#8217;s clear. The majority don&#8217;t like Windows 8 and each update reminds us that Microsoft is scrambling to fix what it should have never had to fix &#8212; if only they had listened to their loyal customers.<\/p>\n<p>The following article explains, in part, why Windows 8 is such a disaster and why Microsoft is hurrying Windows 9 to market:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Microsoft Fan Says: &#8216;Windows 8 Is A Disaster In Every Sense Of The Word&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>One of Microsoft\u2019s strongest supporters took a good, hard look at the soon-to-be released next version of Windows 8, which could arrive in April, and threw his hands up in frustration.<\/p>\n<p>The new version is called Windows 8 Update 1, and it includes a number of small changes, mostly minor tweaks.<\/p>\n<p>These tweaks try to fix some of the complaints people still had about Windows 8. But blogger Paul Thurrott of the influential Windows blog \u201cSupersite for Windows\u201d says they really just make Windows 8 more difficult to use, especially on a tablet.<\/p>\n<p>He took Microsoft to task, writing:<\/p>\n<p>Windows 8 is a disaster in every sense of the word. This is not open to debate, is not part of some cute imaginary world where everyone\u2019s opinion is equally valid or whatever. Windows 8 is a disaster. Period.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Read more at <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/mS3PEX\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/goo.gl\/mS3PEX<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does Windows 8 continue to get worse with each update?
