The Windows You Love is Gone

[news 28]

To be clear: Microsoft has large incentives to banish the legacy of

Windows. The way Windows 8 is structured reduces it to a benign

tumorous growth atop Windows RT. The applications we love and the

openness we adore are contained to an app.

 

I will explain how you should hate this -- after I explain why and

support it with evidence.

Quote: "Windows Server is even more telling. Windows Server is not a

consumer operating system and yet your choice is the “Modern UI”, a

telling name to occasionally replace “Metro” with, or Powershell.

Visual Studio Express was WinRT-or-bust until developer outcry made

Microsoft sweat. Just this week Bill Gates discussed how Windows 8 and

Windows Phone platforms are “evolving literally into be(ing) a single

platform.” Compare Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8: Windows RT is the

middle ground.

 

Do not be surprised if Microsoft intends to remove the cancer."
