Cyrus Sanati at CNNMoney wonders if Windows 8 is Microsoft’s ‘New Coke’ moment. I like that analogy and aligns with my view of it being half baked. If people don’t like the taste of ‘New Windows 8’ they can always go back into the ‘Classic’ desktop view.
Unlike Coke, I don’t think Microsoft will have the luxury of scrapping Windows 8 to go back to the ‘old’ Windows.
