When buying a printer a few weeks ago, I asked PcWorld if I could use 
the internet to check compatibility.  They gave me a machine running 
Windows 8.  I have to say I took to it very easily.  It wasn't as nice 
as Unity, but it was far better than XP or Windows 7.  However, I can 
now understand Windows users finding a problem with it, after all, Unity 
received a similar thumbs-down.  I believe any Windows user who stick 
with Windows 8 for a couple of weeks is going to enjoy it!

However, we need to take full advantage.  The user is going to have to 
work with a huge change anyway, so why not make that change to Ubuntu?  
Anyone with a smartphone running Android or iOS is going to take to 
Ubuntu instantly, and more easily than to Win 8.
