Maybe? iOS, or iPads, iPhones aren't marketed the same as Windows is/will be. If people have always been able to run something on Windows I think they'd assume they could continue that.

I think you have a point with the "IT'S ALL WINDOWS, EXCEPT WAIT THAT WINDOWS THING CAN'T RUN THE SAME APPS AS THIS WINDOWS THING BECAUSE NERD EXPLANATION."
iOS is marketed as an entirely separate thing from OS X, and I doubt anyone thinks the two (or the apps that run on them) are interchangeable.
It's hard to imagine people who don't. Not that I think my opinion is the be all end all, I just can't see how anyone thinks it's an improvement. But I've convinced myself that I'm just getting old and 8 is the best thing since DOS.

I don't see how they are going to sort that out either. I think they tried by putting office on RT, but that's only one suite out of thousands that people are going to try to install.

I hated the change from DOS to Win 3.11, never did get used to it, never fully trusted it, used to have a program called xtree-gold that would let me 'shell out to DOS', still had it but used much less in Win95
Win7 has things altered in the control panel that I don't like
but, it all marches on, we just have to get used to it or get left behind
I was thinking exactly that based on "it would allow me to do what I wanted to"
Using ubuntu at work full time now. Been like that for a couple of weeks, so far so good. Libre office is fucking shite but I've managed to get Office 2010 working in WINE very nicely. I think not having Office is the only think I would've really struggled with.
Aye, and his tinkering taking-things-apart-to-see-how-they-work-nature (or at least that's my impression of his nature :Y )
And yeah I was using Ubuntu pretty much full time at home. Then I upgraded to 12.10 which is ... well, the graphics card support/drivers (proprietary) was totally broken so I retreated to windows. I should go back and stick 12.04 back on if it's not fixed.
And aye. Libre Office is ok but kinda clunky. On the rare instances when I need to do office stuff I just use Abiword and Gnumeric. But I don't need to do much.
