Windows 8 Rethink
The inevitable? Microsoft, like the rest of us, probably think Windows 8 is crap.

It was almost inevitable when you look back at Windows releases
If you look at consumer targetted releases:
3.1 - good
95 - crap
98 - good
ME - crap
XP - good
Vista - crap
7 - good
8 - crap
It's a cycle of good-crap. Windows 8 was always going to be crap, with a good release following it.
Note: I've left out NT and 2000 because they were primarily targetted at Businesses. NT crap, 2000 good though :P

@Zaita that is true. I never really noticed those patterns about Windows OS's until MiiNiPaa responded on my oppinion based on windows 8.

Hahah, what a stupid, misinformed article. Windows 8.1 (aka. Windows Blue) isn't going to be doing a "U-Turn", they are going to be improving what they already have and adding some new features based on feedback. Par for the course for point releases.

I hadn't heard anything about windows blue until just now O:
edit: until they make it possible to open metro style apps on more than one monitor at the same time I won't be using metro style apps for anything.

Keep in mind, still in beta.

That's funny, because my Ubuntu installs on my desktop and laptop are both slower and more unstable than my Windows 8 installs.
I've never have good luck with Ubuntu. It's always been pretty slow and poor response time. But as long as I don't leave the terminal or Gedit it's not bad.
Multi-monitor support is something I REALLY REALLY wish was better. And multi-video card support too. Windows 7 is terrible at running multiple video cards =\
