Windows 8: WTF is Ballmer thinking?

Secure ``poot'' farting on your freedom.
No more Start Menu, so anyone who was familiar with it since Windows 95/98/whatever has to learn a whole new UI.
Ribbon interface in more places, so anyone who kept Office 2003 or switched to Open/LibreOffice because they hate ribbon has no escape.
The GNOME/KDE UIs are more similar to Windows than Windows 8 is!
Writing programs ``apps'' in JavaScript/HTML.
One ``app'' at a time, because the rest of your cores will be used by bloated JavaScript VMs.
Making the desktop a secondary ``legacy'' interface, because nobody needs more than 640K one app at a time.
Designing your main UI for touch screens, because most desktops and laptops (the ``bread and butter'' of Windows) have touch screens, right?
Believing that supporting a touch screen means you need to gimp and dumb down your OS's features.
Removing the registry key that allows Metro to be disabled.
Turning a $1000 PC into a $100 phone, but without the ability to make phone calls.

MS is trying to force their user base to use all laptops and tablets, this is the only way they are going to kill off XP and get people to follow their cycle of new OS's. Pretty much all laptops have to run its installed OEM OS as drivers wont support XP. By forcing a touchscreen UI they are trying to phase out desktops. MS is trying to get all people to use cloud apps as it is difficult to impossible to pirate these and forces the customer to constantly buy upgrades and licenses.

The nice thing about all this is that MS's userbase are stupid sheepals who lap up anything Balmer puts in front of them. MS users are getting what they deserve for being unquestioning loyal customers. The elite computer users will always have hardware on which to run their OS's and apps and will be further distanced from the idiot retards who make up MS's userbase.
