on the pc side only , apple guyz are just sheep ....falowing what ever stupid move apple do ....

If we're to take cheap shots, this Apple guy has just as much for you, mon ami. 

That's simply because not only Apple does it years before Microsoft, but they do get it right to begin with. 

Plus, over the years, Microsoft has left us expecting failures at regular intervals - Millenium, Vista, Windows 8.
 
Ahh that was why the new Apple maps worked so brilliantly?
 
Agreed that Microsoft seems to alternate between good and bad releases.  But that's ok, Windows 7 works great for me.  And I would have stayed with XP before ever getting an Apple.

Windows 8 was rather stupid to have a touch screen come up first - when most screens ain't today.  If they had simply made the older interface come up andswtich to tiles people wouldn't complain.  It is like X1 - nobody knew where anything was.

But touch is coming.  Just got a new windows phone today and it ain't bad.  Of course, I ahven't had time to do much but charge it and transfer my old numbers etc.  It seems to work pretty well but nobody has thought through the whole touch experience.  Windows phone imported my other accounts, including an ancient juno account from my wife.  YOu'd think it would be easy to delete one email from her page but I still ain't figured it out.  I guess it is time to watch the online demo....

"But touch is coming. "  Disagreed.  My arm would be screaming if I tried to replace my mouse with a touch screen.  Touch is great for a phone or tablet.  Horrible for a desktop.

There is no doubt that touch is a bad idea for most PCs, but Win 8 is better then previous versions.
I think at this point every new Windows is going to be called a 'failure' at some point.
