According to reports, Microsoft’s next version of Windows, code-named Threshold, would ditch the Windows 8 Start screen interface for traditional machines. That’s a significant step. Is this an admission by Microsoft that Windows 8 was the worst operating system it has ever released?
According to Mary Jo Foley, the next version of Windows, due out in 2015, will adapt to whichever hardware it’s installed on, which implies that the Windows Desktop, as well as a Start menu, will be front and centre on desktops and laptops. If users don’t want to see the Start screen, they don’t have to. Tablet and phone users, on the other hand, will be unable to access the Desktop.The shift practically amounts to Microsoft admitting that Windows 8 was a flop. It’s the most significant change Microsoft has ever made in terms of operating systems, almost as if the corporation had gone back to DOS following the advent of Windows.
Windows 8 isn’t just another version of Windows from Microsoft. It is the company’s concept of computers in the future. Users despise it, and for good reason.Is Windows 8 the worst operating system ever introduced by Microsoft? There are a few bombs it must contend with. Windows ME was a ridiculously awful operating system that only lasted a little more than a year before being replaced by Windows XP. But Windows ME’s flaws were nothing compared to Windows Vista, a buggy, hardware-incompatible operating system with high-end system requirements and obnoxious features like unnecessarily intrusive User Account Control.
