Ex-Microsoft Employee Launches 'Fixing Windows 8' Campaign

What happened to Mike Bibik? Formerly 'Fixing Windows 8'

Not everyone is happy with Windows 8's sweeping design changes, including one former Microsoft employee who thinks the company can do better.


The former employee has launched a website called “Fixing Windows 8” with suggestions on how Microsoft could improve the user interface, particularly for a mouse and keyboard. According to Tom's Hardware, the website's founder is Mike Bibik, a user interface designer.

“During the MWC keynote, Microsoft made it very clear that Windows 8 will work fantastically if you are using touch, mouse or keyboard,” Bibik wrote in his first post. “Unfortunately, that’s not entirely true.”

Edit: Shortly after posting this the website went blank. The author Mike Bibik's twitter account was also MIA. Twitter is back now, set to private. So far there is no news as to why the website disappeared, and indeed...

.. He was using Windows XP and I assume ..

I don't know why I can't repeat it but the only 2 pages open was this tread and the one link , but one think I know; you asume too much, don't try to make me look like someone not up todate, here a pic of what I use as OS, and a view of my house network, I have quite few PC here, and quite few are Water Cooled and the cheapest one as a recent 4 cores CPU. ( I also have a computer shop with a computers lab not show here,) So I'm not that kind of noobs

Sorry if I assumed too much. I wish I had half the number of PC's like you to toy with lol. I envy you.

Is it possible that Mike's being threatened so he closed that site down for his own safety?

If there would be a movie about this, who would play on it? Its making a good plot, someone who once work for an organization (in this case Microsoft) goes missing and the story goes on with the search for this guy, that the hero would solve a jig-saw puzzle, revealing secrets that the organization doesn't want people to know. Its got that classic suspense-drama thing into it. I love suspense now there's a cyber manhunt for this poor guy.
