As some has stated, Windows 8 became a misstep instead... If they made it like how Windows 7 is an upgraded version of Vista while possibly creating something that meets most consumers needs... A Windows 9 is still an idea... But won't be seen quite just yet.
I rather have they(Microsoft) to take their time longer to make the next OS to replace 7, instead of something that based of what's so HIT today, like touchscreen.
Hell, while we at it, why not just go all the way in making real Persocon to run the next OS. And the new Windows OS is called WinChii(Windows+Chii). OK, I think I'm exaggerated.
A given mission, mechanical assault, manufactured devotion.
Red eyes, an upside-down form. Even the twisted shape was made to be that way.
No matter how cruel the slaughter, worse than a demon's,
or how gentle the kindness, greater than an angel's,
a machine has neither will nor madness—only code, and a few bugs.
So why, then, does it feel so unbearably sad?
