By arpieb on Wednesday, March 14, 2012
Microsoft, oh Microsoft - what in the world are you thinking? First Vista (which was later claimed to have been released too early), then Windows 7 (later claimed to be what the finsihed Vista product was supposed to be) - and now you're trying to force a tablet interface on desktop users?
