MS will continue to disappoint until Steve is replaced. The guy just doesn't get the shift to mobile. Win RT is just such a joke. And the best Steve can do is to say we are hard at work on the future? Puhlease.

I totally agree with you Dougie, Steve the Balld'mess screwed up Windows Mobile and then he set his sights on Windows!!
I just installed Windows 8 Pro on a partition: OMG, what a mangled mess!!
Oy Vey !!!!!!

I couldnt agree with your more on Windows 8. I had to google how to go to the Settings, My computers and even how to Turn Off computer!!!

lol .. It took me awhile last night fiddling with the limited and contrived UI but I was able to find the same two without Googling. My only thought, damn the people who aren't technically inclined will definitely need expert help in configuring their desktop unless, of course, they just plan to use those horrid tiles and never plan to make any extensive changes to their system. Horrible!!

Windows 8 already flop O.S for desktops or laptops

I don't get why so much people hate Window 8. I think Its a direct upgrade from Windows 7.
Also anyone who knows how to use YouTube or Google or Bing,... can easily bring back the Start Menu or Aero or other features missing from Windows 7 or skip Metro and the Start screen.

Only losers hate them, because they dont want to learn something new. I have repeated this rant a lot.
This stock plunge is due to RT failing to sell well, not desktop windows 8 which is doing fairly well. IMO Windows RT never needed to exist in the first place - just stuff in full windows 8 on a tablet, even Acer can do it on a 8 inch tablet.

Lack of competition in the desktop segment, Microsoft being an old dinosaur held the world hostage to old obsolete technologies, as it was repulsive to any innovation in the desktop. You can't pick a single revolutionary innovation in the desktop computing in the last 2 decades. I consider Windows XP - Windows 8 era to be dark ages for innovation in the desktop PC segment. Beyond new hardware requirement (which was mostly more RAM) Microsoft never introduced any ground breaking innovation in the desktop segment.
15. EXkurogane posted on 1
That is true, but what kind of innovation do you expect? A computer could do almost anything we want it to already, as long you have the appropriate software to go along with your needs - the limiting factor being the amount of specs you have. Want something fancy like Tony Stark has in the Ironman movies?
And @Sakuraakino, as i said, too many people are lazy to learn and blame it on others (such as the interface being too different). In terms of rate of windows 8 sales over a period of time, it is close to windows 7.
17. ihatesmartphone posted on 1
You can't see any innovation because there are no competitions!!
To MS, STOP MONOPOLY!!
18. EXkurogane posted on 1
You guys said it in smartphone OS wars - apps are important, and many brag about the sheer quantity of apps without looking at the quality. If quantity is more important than quality, Windows is just the same. The sheer number softwares are unmatched. Thats why Android is doing well as the major smartphone OS, and that's also why windows is doing well as a desktop OS.
So, according to your logic, i could also shout out "Google, please stop the Monopoly (in smartphone OSes)".
20. ihatesmartphone posted on 1
There are many players in smartphone markets...
Android, iOS, WP, BB etc.
At least Android are not monopoly in smartphone segments for more than 2 decades!!
19. ihatesmartphone posted on 0
You know what...
Competition leads to innovation.
21. EXkurogane posted on 1
That is very true. The problem is, no other OSes have that much software as Windows do. The only 2nd option after Windows is Mac, and Macs are very expensive outside USA. Linux is not something many people use, and even as a tech geek i dont know much about it yet, not to mention i have yet to see even a friend or relative using it.
And, as people grow accustomed to windows for productivity purposes they wouldnt want to switch to another OS unless it offers as much as windows does in flexibility and software - and they fear change and learning. Many people are lazy to learn and change, which is also why some people hate windows 8. People want to stick to the same thing with minimal changes.

Actually, I really hoping that other players can come in and compete with MS..
Because I want to see something new in desktop segment...
Something really new.... :D

Are you mental, it's probably a "direct upgrade" for someone suffering from Schizophrenia with delusional features!!

Probably now is the best time to buy shares in Microsoft. Dude i hate stock markets, too much speculation, this is the worst part of the capitalism, and it's all wrong,
25. Napalm_3nema posted on 0
This is not speculation, it's Microsoft in a tailspin. The desktop market is moribund, and contracting because most people have realized they don't need one for daily use, "ultrabooks" are bad MBA ripoffs, so you may as well buy the MBA, and the only MSFT division that was truly healthy, the XBox division, just mucked up their path forward. They have a mobile OS not enough care about, a desktop OS consumers don't need, a search engine and browser people joke about, and an entertainment console that will be a huge flop. Microsoft is in BIG trouble.

Honestly just get rid of RT and just make Pro the best of both worlds.

+1 for you sir. Also need to make Win 8.1 a better version of windows. What is with the stupid 'compatibility' mode? It seems every site on the Web with any bit of Flash content is opened in compatibility mode - including PAs site.

win8 is better than win7. No need to use the metro interface if you dont have a thouch screen

And people were saying BlackBerry had a bad quarter... I guess no one had a good quarter. BlackBerry, Microsoft, Google, Nokia... Admittedly some were better than others though.

Anyone who follows the stock market knows ot is a knee jerk reaction a good 60% of the time. This is one of those. Yes, MS hasn't had a clear vision of where they were going for a while, but the company is getting everything in the same boat and all the oars pointed the right way to row in the same direction. For a company as large, rich, and successful as MS that is not a small task.
This drop is due to one products failure, not the failure of the new vision. This stock will recover.

What screwed them up in my opinion, was launching their slates with too high a price tag.
