Re: [WIN8] Biggest reinvention ever? "There are a lot of people who are barely computer literate and who don’t want or really care about the use of computers. They only want to be able to do some of the things a computer allows them to do and if they can do it without a traditional computer they will. "
How True. Sad to say, the biggest demographic in the retail computer market is not an intelligent, technically savvy (or business savvy) individual looking for a serious tool. Instead, it is a conglomeration of tweeting twits, facebook narcissists, and pr0n downloaders. For them, Windows 8, and Apple's IOSification of their computing platforms, are just what the dimwits ordered. |

Refresh my memory. When was the last time the biggest demographic in the retail computer market was individuals looking for a serious tool.

kudos:1 | For simplophobes and changelophobes (And also intelligent technically savvy egomanics who need SERIOUS TOOLZ), there is always Linux.
Otherwise, you can just use the desktop, and proceed as usual. |

Refresh my memory. When was the last time the biggest demographic in the retail computer market was individuals looking for a serious tool. Apple Lisa? Although it was "doomed to fail" because it had a "cartoonish oversimplified interface" compared to UNIX... thus was overpriced as it was slow, cumbersome to use, and not tailored to what computer users really wanted.
