What makes Windows 8 worth talking about? It touches us all and we fear the unknowns of what Windows 8 will change! Will it make us faster and more flexible? Will it be hard to learn? Can I use Windows 8 for entertainment? Will it change my life by removing everyday tasks?
All these questions we are looking to answer for Windows 8, like a TV episode of Lost! We are dying for some Windows 8 answers! The best response we can offer right now is Microsoft takes moves very slowly on designing something new. They come up with great ideas and hold off on implementing those ideas, I’d assume the same will be done with Windows 8. Security gets improved, the graphical user interface changes a little bit, just enough that you love the new packaging and want to buy it! Windows 8 will be Windows 7 with a patch.
What else is worth talking about Windows 8? The design process! The thoughts behind the architecture! Do they think like the end users or the developer? Will Windows 8 be worth its weight in gold? What justifies the increase in prices? Basically we are all looking to be impressed with Windows 8 in our own form. We want overkill for everything! Good luck Microsoft, we’ll help you with ideas.

How do you judge success? What are you judging the success of Windows 8 on? I often hear: Ease of usage, fewer clicks, better software or cooler games. Almost everything lies on the graphical interface and software that works well with the operating system. Lately, you have the average user who wants it to just function, and the developer who wants freedom to develop. What will Windows 8 provide? Read More..

Why did you make the choice to switch to Windows 7? Did you look at other options? Was it more of a reaction due to the few other easy options? Did you go with what you saw others were doing or the only option your computer provider gave you? Did your experiences of Microsoft’s previous operating systems gave you a perception that the new one would be just as great! Read More..

Computers were scarce when Microsoft gained a sustainable advantage in the operating system environments. Now that home computers are abundant, we will see a shift from a Microsoft dominate operating system market into a balance between operating systems. We think Windows 8 will be the operating system that shares in the decline of this hold Microsoft has. Competition is right around the corner… Read More..

It is estimated that there will be more than two billion PCs in use by 2015.* Imagine that environmental impact if 75% of these computers use Microsoft’s Windows 8. If designed even slightly more power hungry then they could be what waste would that create?
Should Microsoft spend more time researching better options for little things? I could point out any major company with a global product, but Windows 8 will be my example, since this is a Windows 8 blog.

Windows 8 planning stage will make the difference between good and great, yet they let few know how they structure the process! Tell the people what they should hear: that Microsoft is working hard and remains much focused on the task! If the management team takes the time, turns off the electronics, and just gets together and thinks I think they could change the world with Windows 8, like Windows 95 did.
With the slow economy and fights at all costs to be more frugal definitely doesn’t help evolve new ideas, just improve efficiency. Does the Windows 8 meditate on new ideas, push away the pains of corporate reality and just ignore everyone not on the team? We are time-starved, competitive, and the distractions within the workplace are great challenges. How does Microsoft go about isolating the Windows 8 decision makers? I can only imagine that the politics are amazing. Read More..

What is the relationship with Microsoft and the peer to peer file sharing protocol BitTorrent? Could they use this to their advantage with Windows 8?
Their past actions have shown they will use their legal staff to stop piracy. It is well documented many torrent sites receive “cease and desist” letters from Microsoft. Windows 8 could use a more advanced protocol such as bit torrent for much performance increases on downloads! The debate of Windows 8 having BitTorrent itself does not offer a search facility to find files by name, therefore links to these torrents need to be centralized on a Windows 8 Server or hosted my Microsoft directly. This could be an advantage or disadvantage to the freedom of Windows 8 users. Read More..

Windows 8 education edition should be a new edition added to the future line of Microsoft’s operating system Windows 8. Microsoft has major impacts on the global market, the biggest guiding student education. Computers evolved education from primarily teachers with books to learning using computers assisted by teachers.
Why shouldn’t we have a Windows 8 education edition? The percentage of classrooms with Internet access has gone from 3 percent in 1994 to 63 percent in 1999. In 2003, 100 percent of American schools had access to the Internet! With 100%, Microsoft should use its power of technology to improve education with Windows 8. Windows 8 should work with other companies to bring the best tools straight to the desktop, cut out all the bullshit and get learning!
Give the Windows 8 education edition away for free! Microsoft will gain money from businesses using other editions of Windows 8. Even home users should be allowed Windows 8 education edition with the option to increase features at a cost. We would even suggest offering canned courses accessible directly from the desktop. Enough allowing underachievement, imagine the possibilities and educate the world!
