    I miss that era of Microsoft.

    Cortana being insanely fun to use, Windows Phone existing, the future looking pretty cool.

    Then Microsoft Microsoft-ed so hard they had to end it all

        Metro was genius on Windows Phone. Not so much on Windows 8.

        What was even worse than Metro on Windows 8 was Metro on Windows 2008. OMFG… the amount nervous breakdowns I’ve had when remoting a server in a window, trying to click the pixel in the bottom left corner to access the start menu.
