Microsoft's new Windows 8 logo: This one looks like a window

There’s a bit of irony in that, given that the Metro interface does away with the window metaphor that’s been core to the operating system since its creation. The touch-friendly Metro style, which features tiles rather than icons to access applications, is designed to be immersive.

Maybe they should just drop the Windows name and call it Microsoft Doors. ;)

It actually looks a lot like the Windows 1.0 logo, only slightly worse. Say what you will about using big kitties as the title and logo for an operating system, at least the OS X logo doesn’t look like it was drawn by a 10 year-old using Microsoft Paint. I disagree.  A 10 year-old could actually do a better job.  ;)

Windows XP still hanging on as dominant OS

It doesn’t surprise me that Windows XP is still the top OS in the market. Windows Vista was a horrendous release and, as such, probably didn’t help sales of Windows 7 very much.

For enterprise in particular, I would imagine that the holdout for upgrades to Windows 7 probably has a bit to do with rollout and management tools. With Windows Vista, Microsoft changed the setup process quite a lot.  As such, rollout and management tools that used to work with XP wouldn’t work so well with Vista. Even with Windows 7, enterprise customers have to find ways to manage both Windows 7 and Windows XP computers at the same time.  i would bet that managing both can be a real pain and thus they tend to stick with the lowest common denominator, Windows XP.  I believe the old saying “If it works, don’t fix it!” would apply here.
