Dear Ed Bott: No, Windows 8 Is Not the New XP ⇥ roughlydrafted.com

Daniel Eran Dilger:

Bott is right that people have complained about Windows as long as Microsoft has sold it. But he appears to be oblivious to a signifiant new problem facing Windows 8: people and businesses aren’t buying as many PCs as they once were. They’re buying iPads.

Microsoft would love to get those people buying a Surface, but it’s just too damn confusing. They’ve created their own mess.
