The people I'd be concerned about using Windows 8 are the young, the ones who are more OPEN to new changes versus the older who are dead set in certain ways, like a desktop tower and mouse and Ethernet cabling;
Great irony here because you have not changed your POV on this since - ever. People have told you over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over specifically why they don't like Windows 8 and it ain't because of some generic change. You can't grasp it. Not everyone thinks like you,
not everyone works like you. This flies over your head. It's staggering.
Repeatedly I've said - make everyone communicate in eightforums in a language other than English. Pick any language. From now on Coke, you gotta type in Sumerian cuneiform. It's change! Change is always good no matter what!
I would guess that 99.999999% of every single Windows 8 hater is a Windows 7 lover. Where did those Windows 7 people come from? Vista/XP or thin air? I'm gonna guess Vista/XP and I'm also gonna guess their overall demand for change didn't come to a screeching halt in the last decade.
Ethernet cable - I've got FiOS internet. The speed is beyond insane. Theoretically, a 802.11n router can handle my speed. In most real life situations, it cannot. My patience for beyond blazing, 100%-pure wireless internet is thin. I want it yesterday.
Yet I don't like Windows 8.
The other month I bought a new subwoofer. It's wired. I hate that it's wired. I wish it were wireless. Many reasons why wireless is not an option, including wireless systems flat-out do not sound as good as wired ones yet. That's unfortunate because, like I said, I want wireless (i.e., change.)
Yet I don't like Windows 8.
I've got a quad-core smartphone with a big huge screen.
Yet I don't like Windows 8.
I watch almost all movies, watch almost all TV shows, read almost every book, read every newspaper and magazine, listen to all music on my iPod, phone, tablet, laptop or desktop.
Yet I don't like Windows 8.
Minor clarification: I like Windows 8 tablets and phones.
Yet I don't like Windows 8 for desktops.
I'm telling you, Coke, you aren't as thoughtful about this subject as you think you are.
