I went to the the local Future Shop and played around with Windows 8 Pro for about 30 minutes or so. Talk about a Jekyll and Hyde OS. One minute you're using the tiles and then the next minute you're flung into desktop mode not knowing how I got in there. It tries too hard to be everything to everyone and this is where I think it might become problematic for some people. It was nice to see something different, but in the end the user experience is what matters most and this is where Apple has it down pat with IOS. It might look boring and aged, but it's the easiest OS out there and for the masses, this is what counts the most. Sometimes, having something different isn't always the best. What matters more is what works. Sure iOS could use some improvements, but overall, compared to windows 8 and android, it's a breeze to use. Heck, we're still using windows xp at work and although it's boring as hell to look at and use, it still gets the job done. If we moved to windows 8, productivity would go down the toilet and people would throw there arms up in protest. Sometimes, people don't know something good until they lose it.

exactly, it would be nice to have a little more stable release for when the iPad mini/iPad 4 launches tomorrow... although everyone will have to upgrade since it does not ship with anything greater than 6.0 and that could annoy people?
