Tech: Samsung says Windows 8 isn't very good + Surface is a flop

First it was Asus and Acer, then Fujitsu. Now Samsung has added its voice to the growing chorus of PC manufacturers whinging away about sluggish demand for machines running Microsoft’s new Windows 8 operating system.

Asked for his take on recent reports that the PC market will continue to contract through 2013, Jun Dong-soo — president of Samsung’s memory chip division — said he doesn’t expect the PC industry to rebound anytime soon. And if and when it does, that rebound won’t be driven by Windows 8.

“The global PC industry is steadily shrinking despite the launch of Windows 8,” Jun said. “I think the Windows 8 system is no better than the previous Windows Vista platform.”

No better than Vista? Too cruel, too cruel.

And Jun was just getting started. That Vista quip was part of a one-two sucker punch that ended with a slag of another one of Microsoft’s big new efforts.

“[Microsoft's] rollout of its Windows Surface tablet is seeing lackluster demand,” he said. “Meanwhile, previous vigorous pitches by Intel and MS for thinner ultra-books simply failed and I believe that’s mostly because of the less-competitive Windows platform.”

Where did he lie

Samsung should develop an Android based desktop operating system then. What kind of backstabbers?

Android, Chrome, they're both from Google, so you'll get my point

If they develop a linux desktop it'll run on Tizen.

These are so useless.

And I'm thinking that they want to stay away from the google ecosystem.
S-Voice, Samsung Apps has exclusives the Play store has not, there are rumors that Samsung will buy Opera and get it pre-installed (likely, considering how it's the only browser company that they can buy without struggling with marketshare).
Google is also conspiring against Samsung and it says it created a monster

They aren't exactly on friendly terms

I remember during the S3 announcement Samsung did NOT mention google, not even once

I wonder how they'll shade google next week.

I hope I'm right about Opera. It's an excellent browser and deserves to be developed further.
I think they are already partners in the NEX series phones.

Windows 8 really isn't that bad, in my opinion.

The Surface, however, is a flawp.

At least Windows 8 is better than Mac OS X.

Chromebooks are even a bigger flop, so some people should shut their mouth.

I love windows 8. It's cool. The only OS flops I see is the Chrome OS. Google is pretty much giving away the laptops for free and we still dont' have time for it.

Surface on the other hand needs saving. What a waste.
