Microsoft blogs about negative media reports targeting Windows 8!

In this world where everyone is a publisher, there is a trend to the extreme – wherethose who want to stand out opt for sensationalism and hyperbole over nuanced analysis. In this world where page views are currency, heat is often more valued than light. Stark black-and-white caricatures are sometimes more valued than shades-of-gray reality.

Windows 8 is a good product, and it’s getting better every day. Unlike a can of soda, a computer operating system offers different experiences to different customers to meet different needs, while still moving the entire industry toward an exciting future of touch, mobility, and seamless, cross-device experiences. We are going to keep improving Windows 8, as we do with all our products, making what’s good even better.
