Sure. It was an interesting experiment (and certainly not one that I enjoyed -- I'm on Win7 Pro on the few VM's that I have to run MS on).

My point was that MS hasn't suffered massive failure despite this ludicrous attempt at promulgating a feet/elbows interface on devices with actual keyboards and mouses.

Yes, lots of people (especially relatively technically aware people that I know) have resisted the upgrade to MS Windows 8 / 10 -- but they're still running Microsoft Windows.

Compare and contrast the Canonical Unity experiment.
