Windows 8 & the MAC OS.

When Windows 8 was announced last year, nobody really jumped on their couch and talked about it on twitter. It was just an ordinary day for the tech world. But when Apple announces any of their product, they call that day "historic". Windows OS is STILL the best selling operating system out there. And that has to mean something. Windows 7 is Microsoft's most successful product to date followed by Windows XP. We all know that Windows Vista (the successor of Windows XP) was a big failure and what I think triggered most of the MS users to switch to MAC.

I'm going to be honest, Windows 8 looks like a failure to me when I first saw a DEMO of it on YouTube. It doesn't make me want to switch to it. It makes me want to stay with Windows 7. I don't know if it's the Metro Design or the fact that it's more of a tablet oriented OS. I'm not a fan of tablets to begin with and I just can't see myself using a tablet PC for work or for my daily internet activities. (and oh using tablet as a camera IN PUBLIC makes you look stupid). Back to my point the user interface of Windows 8 is just abandoning the user friendly environment of MS. I do think a lot of adults will get confuse with the said UI design and will be another reason why people will switch to MAC. Apple's ability to make almost everything simpler (but expensive) is one of the MAC OS main attraction. Why make it complex if you can make it easier? That's the thing that's bothering me ever since they announced Win 8. People are lazier than the last generation they won't spend an hour or two to learn about a new OS.  They want everything to be "READY MADE", that's the reason why microwave is a hit this century. (that's actually a joke). 

At the end of the day it isn't about that Apple logo on you computer. Or the Windows sticker on.. oh wait. I mean the fact the some of tech consumers only buy computers to call themselves rich is out of the question here. There will always be the stupid consumers. The productivity of the OS is the most important thing and right now it feels like (or at least what Apple wants Windows users to feel) MAC OS is more efficient than Windows. (Especially that Microsoft Office has a MAC version). I'm sticking with my Windows 7 and of course I'll give Windows 8 a chance. But keep in mind there's always the MAC OS who's just waiting to blow your mind.
