Windows 9 Must Haves to fix Windows 8 - John Dvorak

John Dvorak is spot on as to the problems with Windows 8, and what Windows 9 (the next version of Windows) should strive to be for the betterment of the Industry!  I hate Windows 8 (I am a Mac and Windows user), and many PC experts also hate it.  Not because of the tiles, but because of the lost features, the central start button missing that brings all features and access to one location, the lost productivity due to a users inability to get done what they want to do!  See his top 5 list of what Microsoft MUST do to correct the path of the ship, or face going straight into the iceberg within the next few years.

Dvorak: Nothing Can be Fixed Anymore

It is about time that someone says this. I was thinking it myself. Leave it to one of my favorite web and magazine technology gurus... Point is that we are indeed becoming sheep. The article speaks of the latest Mac laptop, but this statement is far reaching, and transcend technology!

Dvorak says: I write about this trend every so often and I find it very distressing because of the effect it has on the users of this equipment. It fosters a feeling of helplessness at all levels of daily life. No wonder there is a great and growing dependency on government and institutions; the public has been trained as a permanent dependent.

Take a look at the article for yourself. Another brilliant piece... I wonder, with all the liberal hippie BS that flows from Apple (I use Mac software too) how is it they can justify toss away and wasteful products, such that use soldered and proprietary parts and drives, that can not be replaced in case of failure.  Sorry, I won't be buying the new Macbook anytime soon.
