windows 8.1 still sucks

[maks]

a mouse offers precision and that, from a technical standpoint, means a mouse-based OS is less simple

it's not, though, because almost everything (except, hilariously enough, the two thins you tried to use as examples) takes extra steps or is hidden somewhere and it's not obvious how to find it. Windows 8 is going to force users to search around poking at corners or endlessly googling "where the fuck did they move that?". It's not going to lead to a new wave of casual-ass braindead know-nothing users, the only change will be that the existing ones are slightly more frustrated. The casual-ass braindead know-nothing users started showing up in 1995, and we call them "you".

i agree with fanfare, they tried to simplify things but failed.
But the reason I even care is because if touch GUIs are dominant in the future, it will result in a dumbing down of your average computer user.

windows is what we've got; if Apple was dominant, it would lead to a dumbing down of users
so either way:
- if windows dies from this, we lose
- if windows wins from this, we lose

Windows 8 is bad for the computer world all around
