A big reason to stick with Windows becomes a big reason for leaving it behind. I've used a Mac and Unbent on the side, and I constantly use is, but on my nondescript gray desk at work, a Windows 7 laptop sits snugly in its docking station, just as it does on millions of other desks. Now I need to replace my aging ThinkPad. Until a little while ago, I was determined even excited to stick with Windows 7 and follow Microsoft on its journey to Windows 8, which in theory seemed like a bold way to bridge the desktop and mobile worlds. Last fall I even speculated that Windows 8 might spark a Windows PC comeback. All it took was a long look at Windows 8 Consumer Preview. In hindsight, I suppose that Microsoft's quest to combine a desktop and mobile OS into one was damn near impossible to begin with. But couldn't the company do better than what landed with a thud on Feb. 29? I was shocked, not only at the chunkiness of Metro on the desktop, but also at the disappearance of the Start menu a double-barreled fail. My gut reaction is one thing. But the clincher for me has been the response from Windows gurus I respect, who wrote "Windows 8 Consumer preview Windows Frankenstein and Woody Leonhard author of a dozen Windows books, who wrote "Windows 8: Something, old, something awkward". And Martin Heller, Windows expert, who sent us an email last week with a subject line that read: "I was so impressed with the Windows 8 preview that I ordered a 21-inch iMac." Inside Microsoft, there is a fixation on whether Windows 8 will succeed and, yes, there is a contingent of people stuck in a paradoxical position: They understand that the success of Microsoft is inexorably linked to Windows, and thus that Windows 8 must succeed. But they desperately want Steven Sino sky, and thus Windows 8, to fail. That both can't happen is of course the irresolvable issue. So with Windows 8, we have an operating system that is stirring outrage in some of Microsoft's staunchest supporters, produced by a company apparently experiencing dysfunction at a fundamental level. Microsoft cannot afford another Vista and Windows 8 promises to be just that sort of debacle. Moreover, it seems as if internal politics may be overwhelming Microsoft's ability to execute. What does that say to you? To me and perhaps to many others, it says: I'm getting off this train at the next stop.
