@jame @maddiefuzz dammit making me sad all over again that of all the companies to come up with WP 8 (or Windows 8 for that matter) why'd it have to be Microsoft?

Come up with an interesting idea. I guess even MS can do that sometimes.

Screw it up a little bit. Everyone does that, no big deal.

Back away so fast they leave skidmarks when people complained. MS and Google, neck and neck for this prize.

@randomgeek @jame @maddiefuzz I liked Windows 8. It almost, almost convinced me that MS wasn't hot garbage as a company.

Boy did they soon set me straight.

@erosdiscordia @jame @maddiefuzz GNOME and Apple were basically making the same desktop at that point, everybody else (and their dog) had an old and busted desktop with a start menu. Microsoft was actually trying something new.

Plus I could tap the Windows key, start typing, and get a command. My actual usage remained unchanged.
