I don't agree with you. Microsoft are happy to sell Office for Mac (in fact Office is THE biggest-selling item of Mac software), without worrying that it'll hurt Windows sales. Microsoft just want to sell stuff.

Logitech apparently makes win8 specialized products: And I can't find a video showing the right-click pop-up screen popping up at the bottom of the screen. People complain about it being slow to pop up, but it looks like it's popping up in the right place: |

Businesses are too committed to Wintel for Office on Mac to make a difference. That is not true with mobile devices like phones and tablets, where the main obstacle to widespread iPad adoption is lack of MS Office. The only way iOS gets a native MS OFFICE suite is if MS gives up on mobile. That isn't happening soon. |

The mouse wheel moves up and down, in response the metro screen scrolls left to right along the main icons. It's odd and not natural unlike with a touch pad or touch interface where you scroll fingers left/right to move it left/right. However due to wide screen monitors and a need to make metro work the same on tablet and desktop, there's no vertical scrolling of the metro tiles.
The mouse wheel does move up/down on controls as normal yes, that's not what I was referring to though. Quote:
There's not really anything wrong with the desktop side of win8, at least I didn't have any real complaints after using it. It's metro that feels awkward to use with a mouse. Last edited by JoeD; 12-13-2012 at 10:01 AM. |

In what numbers, though? All the Apple press data you find is all about corporate sales *growth* rate. Big percentages quoted all over. But finding out the base? Ahem, no chest thumping there... Best number I've found says Apple grew to 5.2% in 2011 from 3.3%. http://prmac.com/release-id-17279.htm Which merely brought them back to where they were in the 90's. Mac isn't irrelevant, but they're as much of a threat to MS in the corporate market as Linux. They are just big enough to keep the trustbusters away without impacting revenue or revenue growth. What does give MS nightmares about the corporate market is the return of mainframes under the guise of cloud computing. And their answer to that is Azure. Which is why they are dead set about keeping control of the client side of corporate computing and why Surface RT and Surface Pro are important. Last edited by fjtorres; 12-13-2012 at 11:59 AM. |
