Microsoft fired the guy who headed up Windows 8 because he wouldn't bend on making the desktop version more compatible with standard Windows users. Yes cool for tablets, but for keyboard and mouse, more problems.
They hid Control Panel and I still have no idea where the dos prompt is yet.
Microsoft screwed up bigtime on this. No business is going to jump to Win8......they are slowing moving to Win7 and Office 2010. Many are still on XP.
