500,000 downloads in less than 24 hours. I guess there is still hope in Microsoft to bring a revolutionary OS to the market. People still have the anticipation toward new windows OS even after the pass failure. Windows Vista is not a great success, and Windows 7 is new but not so much of a breakthrough, it's what vista suppose to look it. And did I mention Windows Me is a total failure :). Windows 8 gave me the feel of Windows 95 time, a total transition from the old DOS 6 command line to color and user friendly GUI. Windows 95 gave user a total new experience. I guess not many people still remember that during the launch of Windows 95, it also introduce two new key to the keyboard, window key and properties key. I still recall that I change my keyboard just to experience the new Windows 95 to the fullness. Windows 8 will drive a revolutionary of touch screen user interface which started by Apple. I am not saying Microsoft is "copy cat". Apple started a revolution and Microsoft is just trying to take part and driving and pushing it. If you know the history between Apple and Microsoft, you would notice this always what happen. Windows 8 haven't officially launch yet and we would not know how consumer would response. Microsoft need a brilliant marketing strategic to gain back consumer confidence towards the new OS. It not easy for revolution to happen and I wish the best of luck to Microsoft. And Apple too :D
