Windows 8 had a lot of negativity around it for new users as well. It wasn't until they played around with it that they saw the real positives and learned to love it. That isn't based on an article or anything, just from what I've seen and heard from Windows 8 users. I think a lot of people that were on Windows 8 are adjusting to the XB1 UI well.

I have had Windows 8 for 6 months and it never leaves desktop mode. The tiles screen is completely useless to me, other than having a tile that takes me back to desktop mode. If it were a touchscreen or tablet I wouldn't mind it.

I don't have Windows 8 but everything I've ever read about it, including reviews from Wired and even gaming publications have all said the same thing you just said. It was as if it were designed for tablets and it's completely counterintuitive with actual PCs.

I have Windows 8 on all four of my PCs. Any time I have to use an older version of windows, it's a struggle of rage.

You just adore everything MS produces, don't you?

Haven't tried a windows phone, nor the surface. Would like to get my hands on both to see if the inter-connectivity is worth it though.

I like most products that come out, no matter which company produces them, except Apple for the most part....Anyway back to gaming.

I think a total of five people own a combination of Windows phone and the Surface.

Microsoft has announced some multiplayer stats for Xbox One exclusive titles.

Here’s the list of accomplishments over the last 11 days:

Over 3 billion zombies killed in “Dead Rising 3”
Over 90 million miles driven in “Forza Motorsport 5” – equal to 3,673 trips around the world
Over 186 million enemies defeated in “Ryse: Son of Rome”
Over 150 million combos in “Killer Instinct”

“We are humbled and gratified by the overwhelming response from our fans to the launch of Xbox One,” said CVP of Strategy and Marketing Yusuf Mehdi.

“Eleven days in, we are seeing record breaking sales and are selling every Xbox One we can make. Demand is far exceeding supply in the 13 countries we’ve launched and we are sold out at retailers around the world.

“We are seeing incredible usage from our engaged fans who have purchased Xbox One with more than 50 million hours spent on Xbox One games and entertainment.”

The firm said it is “working hard to meet consumer demand,” and are delivering consoles to retailers “as fast as possible this holiday season.”

I like Windows 8 a lot. It took a little getting used to its differences, but after a day or so, I think it's way more intuitive.

A buddy of mine picked one up in store at Best Buy today, they had 2 in stock. Apparently he had to ask them though, they were not out on the shelf.

My wife had to do the same thing on black friday, they were not out in plain sight.

I would order one but there's nothing I want to play right now. Not a big Forza guy and that's really it that's out now.
