Follow-up from my friend, the Windows kool-aid guy. What you've said is what everybody thinks, but this is not true.

How can that be? Easily. Windows 8 runs with a "tablet" interface. OR a normal "desktop" interface. It does both. You can switch, at will. It's easy.

What is wrong with this picture?
Microsoft is doing a horrible job of message control. All they show people is the "tablet" interface, they aren't telling us you don't have to use it!



Bonus cool thing that Win8 does? You can install it on a 32gb flash drive. Stick that flash drive in any Win7 PC, and boot into Win8.
