Why Windows 8 Scares Me

This video gives an overview of Windows 8 and some of the risky design decisions Microsoft made in it. It was designed as a supplement to my blog post on the subject at http://mobileopportunity.blogspot.com... If you want to fully understand my perspective on Windows 8, you need to read the post.

In this version of the video, I show the preview version of Windows 8 that was current at the time I recorded it. I have revised the video to show the release version of Windows 8; I encourage you to switch over to the new version here: http://youtu.be/Ohg_oBFKliI.

Thanks for the numerous comments, and I'm sorry that I don't have time to respond to all of them.

No, It sucks, programs don't work, websites don't work, you can't delete your Internet History, the Internet Explorer is fucking stupid, unresponsive and the goddamn search bar keeps disappearing on you, you need a Microsoft account to seriously stop the fucking computer from doing system restores, and ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, Microsoft is WATCHING our every move including our privacy and the possibility they can get your YouTube Channel Information and Password!

I'AM NOT WASTING MONEY ON THIS BS

Bull fucking shit! I never been this scared about the future of the interwebz! There ain't no way to turn that goddamn Metro screen off, the fucking backspace button doesn't work when you want to go back, I've used that thing for about 40 minutes to an hour and fucking raged when the damn searchbar kept disappearing on me and not being able to turn the IE off or delete the history

Microsoft if you read this, bring back Windows 7! NOW!

Stop lying about the "positive feedback" you know that's BS

If you're afraid of a operating system go and kill yourself. You wont survive in this world anyway. You jerk!!!

What drugs have you been smoking? Seriously, you must be near the verge of dieing.

[Inkwaboom]

What the fuck are you talking about? I have never had a single issue. Are you mistaking Windows 8 with Mountain Lion where half the Windows based programs no longer supported?

[Inkwaboom]

Backspace doesn't work? What bullshit are you people going to make up next? You CAN delete the history are you really that fucking stupid? I will give you a tutorial. Click on the picture of the star. Right click on the history folder you want to delete. Press the button on the drop down menu that says "delete".

[Inkwaboom]

I agree

[Inkwaboom]

You obviously are a liberal fuck tard. Who is brain washing you now? Steve Job's ghost? Also why don't you watch out for google because last time I checked their Google sync stores all of your passwords on their servers, not Microsoft.

[Inkwaboom]

Programs don't work? Websites don't work? Seriously? Have you ever used the OS? Also you can very easily delete your internet history by going into the history tab and pressing the DEL key. Stfu ignorant dipshit. I'm tired of band wagon idiots like you spewing garbage on the internet that isn't even true. Also you do not need to be connected to the internet to use windows 8 and microsoft doesn't record your every move. That is illegal. Your browser saves the password locally
