Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the IBM Laptop Battery
Etc. Let customers go through a series of questions until they end up fairly close to their destination.
I watched the video again last night with the fellow trying to use Win8 who got stick in Windows Explorer and couldn't get back to the menu page. I have to give this guy kudos because unlike the average computer user he actually was familiar with Windows Explorer. In other words, his level of Windows understanding was above average. As I watched him all those minutes I kept thinking, why isn't he trying the Backspace key? Why isn't he trying the Escape key? I don't know if either would actually work but I do know the answer to those questions. Most people don't use keys while they navigate Windows.
As much as I hate the looks of Win8 I am excited that someone with battery like Fujitsu FPCBP177 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP179 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook S7210 Battery, Fujitsu BTP-C0K8 Battery, Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile V6505 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP79 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP78 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP225 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP226 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP227 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP230 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP88 Battery is trying something new and it's interesting to see after years of advances that resulted in not much more than faster processors, better graphics, and larger hard-drives that computers have as of late been evolving into niftier products than ever before.
No, I'm afraid that's classic fanboy thinking, that anything remotely negative toward a company someone loves blinds them.
I was critical about Microsoft not properly helping consumers with the coming choices. I stand by that. It could do much better. But that doesn't mean, and I never said, "Apple is better."
October 20, 2012 9:48 PM (PDT) Like (1) Link Flag He's hardly "biased" for suggesting that Microsoft could do a better job at explaining their new approach to the masses. He's right. The average consumer doesn't know what Windows RT is and will take it as "Windows that can run anything".
Yes, he is a little negative about the ecosystem but it isn't that hard to see where he is coming from. Apple outlines this very clearly. Granted, Apple has a MUCH easier product range to deal with (2 laptop models and a phone and tablet each) but that doesn't mean Microsoft can't try and educate consumers on what it is offering.
I do think though that Microsoft has made it a lot better than the past where they had 7 different versions of Windows and you didn't know obvious advantage each had. This is either Windows 8 or Pro if you want a host of other features. Simple indeed (and a little more personal than Mac)

However, Cnet has this article classified under "news", not "opinion" or "column" or something like that. I was therefore reading this as a piece of journalism and not expecting opinion.
So perhaps on this issue the fault was mine, although I think Cnet could have better classified the article.This though, is not your fault.
As for my comment on the paradox of choice argument and how it applies to Android, I would like to hear your reaction. I do value your opinion (since you clarified this is a column) as someone who has written on the tech world for quite some time. If I sounded mean or too harsh in my comment, I apologize; my intention was not to put anyone down but rather comment on the article.

October 20, 2012 6:40 PM (PDT) Like (4) Link Flag @noreg, I agree. That's how CNET does it. Columns show up in the news section. I wish they'd find a way to better show when columns are columns, so that people understand when they are getting more opinionated content. I've even passed that suggestion along, but so far, no change.
Having said that, I still write everything to be as clear as I can that I'm expressing an opinion. That's why you see this right at the start: "There are so many choices that I feel almost paralyzed in deciding. As a first step, which I hope will be useful to others, I've tried to organize the options."
