Windows 8 Roundup (Score 1)

Probably that was said many times before, nothing new, so I must apologize. I think Microsoft needs to support two Windows - one for business, infrastructure use, and another for general consumer, tablet PC, etc. use. Now they are playing the same game but by two different rules. I think Windows XP is a great product. Because of its longevity, it is decently stable, predictable and manageable. Windows Vista, 7, and 8 looks to be chasing consumer world which I don't like. Not the consumer world, but the fact that Microsoft uses the same kit to conquer two essentially very different and incompatible worlds - one where frills, cool GUI, large button, Aero experience, you name it - rules and another where stability, predictability, manageability and all that boring stuff rules. They are fat enough to fight Google and Apple on consumer side. Surprisingly there is little to fight on business infrastructure side - they only need to make and maintain good and nicely developed product (like Windows XP :). It's pity that all attention is driven towards consumer market where I wouldn't say that Microsoft is the best. Microsoft does indeed have their loyal customers in business market, but they are not so interested to listen to them. At least that's what I feel.
