I'm a computer engineer, and I must say to the world community, the idea of turning a PC into a smart phone is the worst conceived approach possible. Smart phone interfaces are impressive in comparison to everything else before, but they are quite clumsy designed for operation in the palm of your hand. I mean, if Microsoft shipped off this product with a free 42" LCD Touch screen.... even then, I don't need an OS designed for a 4" screen... Don't they realize Windows is used for an infinitely number of applications, from NASA modeling simulators and satellite flight controls, to power grid operations, to freaking magazine development. This OS is designed with few things in mind:
1. To sell you more stuff from Microsoft..the model of every smart phone manufacturer.
2. To track more personal data and likely sell it.
3. To reduce the cost of OS development, regardless of the cost to the consumer.
4. To open a market for PC touch screens, which cost pennies more to make than an LCD, yet cost literal 5 times the cost (Like $500... ha! rip off). I bet they invested heavily in the market thinking they had insider information.
I truly feel betrayed by this company, 20 years of service, betrayed. I'll never buy another windows device....
screw you guys, I'm a goin Ubuntu!
I've tried to return the windows 8 disk, but neither MS nor the store I bought it at will accept it. Anyway, I'm really ticked off $140 bucks... what a joke... I could have shelled the Android OS over windows 7 and had a better experience... MS is dead to me now.
