Which is what forcing crap on people tends to do.

I don't think you quite understand. He would not have customers, as I would have warned them...

Not really. It's more like you would've tried to force them into Windows 8 when people generally don't want it, and then they would've never come back due to your ignorance. At least he understands that people just don't want it. (though he does have a few other things wrong at times)

I think you pay less attention than you think you do.

I won't force anything on anyone... Except an open mind. Meaning that when people like you go on bitching about whatever flaw you want to blow out of proportion, someone has to come in with the rest of the story.

Click here for many links on how to uninstall Windows 8. Not being able to uninstall it easily was the biggest complaint among the 163 -- ooops, now 178 -- 1-star reviewers of the interface, in Amazon (click here). Lots of trolls stalk those who complain about Win8, particularly a 'Delmos', who always accuses the critiquer of being 'vague', even when the critiquer was specific. That's religious fanaticism, talking.

Taqqiyya has four steps:
  • DENY the criticism, because the criticism is correct;
  • ATTACK the one criticising in order to deflect attention away from the correct criticism,
  • PLAY THE VICTIM, to deflect attention away from the fact you are attacking, and
  • DISSONANCE (redefine a fact to mean the opposite of itself, through clever sleight-of-words).
I'm sure Win8 has some good points, especially as a tablet, or when used with a touch screen. But it is not a matter of faith that it cannot bear criticism.
