I suffer from imposter syndrome...
...now if I can only keep that imposter from across the aisle from entering my cube and pointing out the obvious and unrelated issues.

Nice job copying this[^]. Excellent ctrl+c/ctrl+v skills.
No offence, but the reason I even looked for plagiarism is that I just couldn't believe you had suddenly become so articulate. You could try adding errors the next time you "borrow" some text without attribution.

Damn. We still don't know what the second thing is.

This deserves more upvotes.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Are you saying that W7 didn't look like a polished product?

I wouldn't want to use W7 on a tablet, there are other OSes out there which do that job just fine. That said, MS should always have produced one product for tablets and one for the desktop. One-size-fits-all was a daft idea from the outset.

By "product", do you mean "turd"?

I was asking if you did. Besides, I couldn't even tell which "product" the "it" referred to in that sentence, I suspect some intentional ambiguity.

An iPhone for both ears, stereo iPhones it could catch on, I'm sure Apple will love the idea.

Doesn't surprise me at all: Win 8 was a phone (maybe tablet) OS designed for touch input.
Most desktops have much bigger screens, and no touch - so it doesn't work very well for them, and take up reflected that.

It's good that MS can realise it made a mistake and go back to what worked. 8 was an attempt to push computer users into a tablet paradigm, and it just doesn't work.

Now they should put menues back in Office.

May be it's just me but I did not find any issues using W8. I used it for 10 days. May be it is because I make very little use of mouse. I prefer running command straight from the run dialog.

My suggestion to MS would be to keep the windows 8 start screen but as a live wallpaper to the desktop which means you cannot have small icons on your desktop but only the windows 8 start screen. Hence the users are not confused as well as the beauty of the live tile is preserved

This is a complicated issue.I dont't think windows 8 was that bad.
But it appears the microsoft doesn't understand that people will complain when they try to rush a system to make a new sale. Or the importance of testing the system with users. It seems that someone said "looks ok, let's sell it"...

I've been using and developing desktop apps on Win8 for at least a ear now. Honestly, it doesn't give me any problems and I switch back and forth to Win 7 effortlessly.
The only "discomfort" I experienced was a few days of wondering where things were. Not unlike switching to other versions of Windows over the years.

Hi All,
I have been a grouch/miserable over the last few weeks with a project lacking data, not really understanding the problem. I have made a few posts here miserable as sin, sorry(  ). Finally Boss man saw the light and told me to do so & so, doing so and so, customer coming over Monday they both need my the thing I am working on to work so it arms, elbows in to it. I did find a bug in the paper work which had me stumped for a time and led to some odd Q&A questions (answered by PK Fox & Griff Thanks guys!) with out that problem I would have got much further. Running on ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) & very little else! But I will get something completed today and now back to the fun!.
Thanks All for putting up with me!
Glenn

Er... umm... yes, you are working too hard. When this is over you need to spend some time on a quiet place, a VB free zone if you will.

For once I thought I am reading email. Take a break, talk about something totally unrelated and come back to problem. Often helps me.
