Amazing!

I had to stop when he got to the Charms Bar, how lame is that?

Great obituary for Win8.

If that pos is too complicated for a man who was using SLACKWARE years ago it is most certainly too complicated for the average user.

Rather than trying to force desktop users into using an OS designed for tablets, they should have created it as a new OS for tablets and named it Windowpane, or maybe WindowPain... :)

They should have left the desktop interface of Windows 7 alone, or tweaked it into something a bit cooler, but changing it to a touch screen orientated UI which can only run one window at a time in the foreground is not much better than old DOS applications.

If the truth in advertising laws were enforced against big companies like Microsux the officers of the company would be in jail for even calling that pos an operating system.

It certainly isn't a desktop OS. It is as you say, false advertising.
