Here is one way to get people to use Windows Phone and Windows 8

... and hate it

Pulling an Oprah, again, isn't just one way to improve employee morale, it also ensures everyone's familiar with the new products as they roll out and are ready to tell people about them.

Provided each employee given the device, is obliged to sign an "act of telling everybody around how good the device is and non disclosure of how bad it is in fact". They (the employees) should demand a better salary on the grounds of additional hard (unhealthy) labour.

the best way to get people to buy windows 8 is to get a high shool girl hi and put her on a Windows comershal about how a mac ate her paper.

The device is so ugly! Designers must have been from another planet!

The best way to get people to buy W8 is to threat them with a 7.62 NATO MG

Bravo! Well played, sir. Well played.

I dunno guys. I came from their camp and defected a few years ago when Hackintosh "surfaced" because I hated their design philosophy so much, even in the 8 reincarnation. I always thought Windows8 is MS reckoning of how far behind the curve they are so they just start from the mobile device platform and scale up to desktop, sort of like Android. Yet when testing W8, I felt some feature might be feel right on a mobile device. I read a recent review of the Surface by Anandtech, in which Anand gave an honest opinion about the build quality of the tablet and the fluidity of the OS. For those Apple haters out there, and I know quite a few, this may present an alternative to plasticky Android tablets whose functional purposes are to steer people away from pricey iPads. For what it's worth, W8 may find a natural habitat from which to grow, not that I want one anyway. Wish you the best luck MS because I won't come back.

lol... Windows 8 is just the latest blunder in the series.

Just look on the internet for photo's of Ballmer almost crying...

He isn't pleased Windows 8 is not very popular and there are almost no sales comparing to Windows 7.

Who wants that new ugly UI of Windows 8 anyway...

I'm pleased ;-)

I don't even think giving me free hardware would be enough to get me to use Windows 8. I just do not like the way they have changed how you do a lot of things. The only thing that would save it for me is if I were to go get one of those programs that allows you to change it back to the traditional desktop with start menu and all. I tried playing with that new UI and, while it was kinda neat at first, it quickly got on my nerves.

I personally find WP 7.8 more than great. I own a Lumia 900 and tbh, I'd never go back to any other mobile OS. I think each OS has its perks.
