Windows 8 is, quite literally, for tablets. If you're too inactive (in terms of watching TV) to see the commercial, Microsoft has created some kind of loving touch-screen laptop that can be folded backwards, and when it is, it can be used as a tablet. Or, you can unfold it and use the keyboard and touchpad.
Thus, it's not entirely BAD, it's just that it's not what gamers want.
LOL

... Windows Calendar
where the hell is this? I have Windows 7 ultimate and I've never seen a fully functional calendar that lets me set appointments/etc. calendar functions, other than the typical calendar that just tells you the date in the bottom right.
Seriously? Are you implying Linux can't handle games? Are you implying Linux doesn't have equivalents to OS X design programs? There's plenty of alternatives to programs that either OS X and Windows, if there's no alternative, you can always use Wine. Simply saying you can't make art or play games on Linux makes me sick.
Idk about not making art with Linux, but lets be realistic, almost all games are designed for Windows. Windows is THE primary operating system for PC gamers. There is no doubt about it. Yes there is Wine but again it's just not the same and most people would probably prefer Windows just because it's more familiar and it's used by a wider margin of the market. I'm highly aware that there are people who play many games on Linux using Wine and etc., so please don't spew out some swear-laced rant about how I'm Riddler and Linux users are my jews please :(
