I am using two 40 inch screens with wireless gestures.
As a programmer in windows 8.1 I never have to worry about scalability it solves that issue so easily

Correct. I love Windows 7 and I still have a few VMs in Windows XP. Both great. Vista = total flop. Win 8 = not yet a flop but dancing on the edge.
Users have changed over the years. Microsoft cannot just pull the trick of forcing people to do what they think is right. Users have learned that systems adapt to them, not the other way round.

I think why everyone is upset is that they are learning that systems wont adapt to them any more.
When what they ask for isn't possible while listening to how they want it - the user gets silenced.

You are wrong. If Microsoft won't adapt to the user, some other company will and MS will keep going down. Don't get me wrong, I am an MS and I love Windows above OS X (I use both), but MS needs to be humble enough to recognize the need to adapt to users or die. (albeit they have too much momentum, it will take years but it will happen if they don't adapt)

Windows 8 and windows phone 8 continue to gain market share and have yet to have a downward trend.
|
|
|
|
|
And by gain market share you mean that it is even worse than Vista?

I have a Windows Phone sitting nicely in my desk. I use my iPhone instead as it is more user friendly.
I do develop in Windows and think it is great. They just messed it up with this one in particular.

Anything that someone does not know how to use is less user friendly.
No old age population finds iphones friendly, but windows 8 continues to be picked up by people that have never had a cell phone, and comment if it wasn't for windows 8 I would never get into technology.

And here you go again with a misconception. You write:
"Anything that someone does not know how to use is less user friendly."
But instead it should be something like:
"Anything that is not intuitive enough for someone that does not know how to use it, and if feels unnatural to learn is less user friendly."
I think the last sentence was not user friendly. I like better "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" 
Case in point: my 2 year old toddler works the iPad up and down like an extension of her arm. Gave her the my Surface and Galaxy and she basically just asked for the iPad. And not because she is a toddler. This is common on all ages when introduced to technology.

If you already learn a way of doing something as long as you are faced with a device that is different then the way you are used to - you will be confronted with what you think is bullshit.

Windows 8 would be the most beautiful thing in the world if it wasn't called windows and didn't support the desktop.

Now you are saying that you hate dual mode because it confuses you!

I own a tv mounting company, a tv repair company which is the factory warranty repair center for all television brands I am internationally known, a real estate software company, Unidex software a company devoted to making software that competes with sql - it recently created 5 million records an hour.
If you wish to send a package to that location you are more then welcome, but I own over 14,000 acres added up from close to 50 properties spread across Canada, Including 2 strip malls.
Senselessness only comes from those not welling to understand.

Oh so you inherited your money! That was easy! Now go code, Mr Cable Guy. Isn't that what you are trying to do, learn, but instead you are just a lurker that adds no value?

10 years of school, Always learn.
There is no need for lurking when you have windows 8 it notifies you of every change, as long as you know how to control it.

Good! Great to be from a rich family to get started and then setup Unidex software as the crown Jewel. Demos look nice. It is probably all because of your hard work learning XAML. Piece of advice, don't rely only on Facebook for setting up your company - I know you just opened it in August. Buy a domain, pretty cheap in Godaddy and given that you own millions (nice to be royalty!) it should be easy. I am sure your grand dad Fred who was member of the Legislative Assembly would've been happy - try your best to make your family proud! This includes Tim, Steve, Dan, Joe and the women too.

My family gave me nothing until I made something of myself, and still have not used anything given to my advantage.
Also I have made my own domain controller, and 10$ a month for a .ca domain is cheap.
Most of my companies deal in paper, and faxes, absolute security.

One more piece of advice. If you upload pictures never forget to remove exif values. Especially if you post views from your place. Any self respecting geek can find out where you live, where you work, where you move around. It is pretty creepy!
Also, there is too much information going around in the web! Being not nice is not recommended! Good luck on your realtor business! Word of advice though, looking at your MSDN activity, I can see that you are a prick there too.
Remember that you can get places being nice, but being a pain will get you no where. Of course, you are just an entitled young brat who does not know better. Learn to respect others and you will enjoy a nicer life! Be humble, care for others and stop being a me me me me A type.
Just looking at this, Renee and others were being nice. You asked for help to begin with, but then you just insult them. That's not nice.
