For one, the (virtually useless) charms menu pops up everytime I move my cursor to the close button on a fullscreen window. In multi-monitor setups, it’s hard to activate the start screen box on the middle of the two screens.

I’m using it right now too. I agree that it’s better in some ways, but it other ways, it’s different and worse.

It’s clearly not good. Sales should always be going up unless you’re providing non-profit services. And even then you probably want to increase the reach of your organization.

I agree, but why would someone who wants the desktop experience go through all that trouble to upgrade? Especially if they aren’t tech savvy and have no idea of what Start8 is. By the way, I actually dispute that Start8 is a stable alternative to the start screen. The last time I tried the software (about a month ago), it was unusably glitchy.

That’s more of a PC hardware sales conversation.

Microsoft should be marketing for people to upgrade their current PCs so that more people realize the value in updating their software. Unfortunately, there wasn’t really a benefit to updating the software because they didn’t improve it by very much for the people that have old-but-good hardware (desktop users).
