Adapt to what exactly?
As hybrid OS. Windows 8 is as true of a hybrid product as there is, and it's not particularly elegant so it does require some adjustment. For a person who's always wanted Windows to be a hybrid kitchen sink OS I guess it was just more natural and more interesting to me than a lot of folks.
I dont think its asking alot for it to just be the same as the previous versions, but with all the nice improvements.(people who want the hybrid can have it too)
Maybe not, or maybe it is. There's a LOT more computing options now than even Windows 7 launched 3 years ago. People say that Windows 8 doesn't offer them anything over Windows 7. What does Windows 7 offer average people over an Android tablet or iPad? Sure in this crowd lots of stuff that's very atypical and of little interest to average people. Windows 7 devices are heavier, tied to keyboards and mice, hotter and less power efficient by a lot over tablets, and those are some of the things are driving computing devices, no top end speed or how many windows one can have open.
I like the improvements to the speed and other things too. But I personally hate touch screens period, unless they have a magic screen that doesnt get dirty. hehe
And this is a very common sentiment among Windows 8 opponents. But it's stopping few from buying touch screen devices.
