Windows "Blue"
TaoPhoenix:
Hmm..,
Fix Vista and remove most of the unnecessary annoyances = Windows 7
Fix Windows 8 and remove most of the unnecessary annoyances = Windows ???

Basically that's how I read that. : )

Well, another article has come out about Blue, and they're doing ... uh... Stuff to it.

It look like they keep fiddling with those Program Tiles. Except why can no one realize how incredibly much space that those take up? And look at the categories:
"Health and Fitness"? "Chat and Browse"?
Granted I am due for a cleanup again, but I have 120 items in my start menu and another 30 in an "App Links" folder. So No Tiles for me.

I swear this was their inspiration for Metro.
Windows "Blue"
(Note: I gave it a quick run last weekend. About all I can say is: if "sucks ever so slightly less" is the same thing as "significantly fixed and improved" in their virtual reality, then they've met the goal with aplomb.)
:P
With ads like this, can we get some idea where Microsoft's brain is at these days? Especially at the 20 second mark with that "you want some?" move. Jeezus Redmond! What were you thinking?

You mean Steve Ballmer's signature move? You should see him doing it on the dance floor... ;D
'Fancy' advertising is hardly going to make a difference. You need a product that works and which appeals to the prospective user, not one that is shoved down their throats and which frustrates and confuses them.
