Microsoft's Windows 8 to Include an App Store Too

[Hyper-X]

But it's what led to the Vista debacle and the reputation the OS got.

No it wasn't. The issue existed prior to Vista's retail release and it bled over past the retail release date. It was already big news before Vista hit the shelves. Some of ZDnet's authors were also Technet devs, and what they shared publicly in their articles were common knowledge to the rest of the Technet community.

There were over 10,000 active technet developers involved in testing Vista in its early stages. I was active when it was in Alpha mostly with its (then new) network stack changes. The issue the Intel Extreme Graphics IGP had with Aero had to do with how much shared memory performance varied between different chipsets of the time. Even installing an AIMM (AGP Inline Memory Module) had hardly any effect on its performance because the amount of memory wasn't the problem, the efficiency between the system bus and the graphics chipset was.

it doesn't make Lion Apple's Vista.

Perhaps you're right, Vista may not be the best comparison to Lion but Windows ME is. Lion incorporates a lot of unwanted changes that most users don't want or need and it's proven to be very unreliable.

i do say...

Microsoft has made another update on its window version. Technology just keeps improving. Can’t wait for the company to create a software where I stop typing. Just kidding.

I am sure that apple will be suing microsoft if this is true unless they by patents for it. it is one of the major add ons that do distinguish the os systems.
The something might happened to microsoft that is happening in the tablet industry.

Please, Linux had an App Store years before Mac OS X got it in 2011.

Apple wasn't the one who invented it.
