Windows 8

Argggh!

Another Windows we have to get used to? Graduating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 is a pain in the neck. Spare us oldies the frustration! Why can't it be seamless switchover? They should have 2 distinct versions, one with familiar look and feel, similar to Windows 7 and one for those who always crave for something new and radical. Anyway, this group is already on the lookout for Windows 9. For those of us with ancient non-touchscreen computers, we prefer to go along at a slower pace. For crying out loud, not everyone has a touch screen tablet, PC or Notebook. There are still folks humming along with Windows 95 and they are pretty happy lot.

Recently, I heard that they are bringing back the Windows START button. See! I told you so! Microsoft, do not shove all these alien stuff down our throats. There is no need to radically change Windows to make it look and feel alien to us, humble folks, be it for personal or business use. Tweak a little here and there to bring us up to speed with newer and better features.

It will put a lot of people off Windows, the way it is going. If the users are happy with what they have, why need to change and force people to change.

Now I have to open my own WINDOWS to let in more fresh air....
