Windows 8 has a completely new look and forces users to learn
new ways to control their machines.
That's the reason for UEFI: to
prevent users trying other OSs and finding that the learning curve is much
smaller (especially in getting everyday things
done).
"Unfortunately [sic], it seems clear that the Windows 8
launch not only didn't provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to
have slowed the market,"
The first hint that MS's monopoly tactics
may be failing.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

His "One Ring to Rule them All" is still trying to work out a few
kinks, not the least of which is explaing why people should cough up wads of
cash for something that turns a perfectly good computer into a toad.
Meanwhile the wizard Google has released the "Android Ring Making Kit"
and Frodo Torvalds keeps upgrading his "Open Ring", a free ring kernel
that can be customised by anyone.

IBM didn't because customers needed mainframes and kept on buying.
People don't need MS, don't want MS, and will only buy if they have to. As sales
collapse, MS will follow it, and there's a good chance they will implode and be
broken up in a fire sale.
