Why Windows 8 is doomed to failure? The reason is very simple:

1. No one needs Windows 8 on the desktop.

Quick: Name one thing about Windows 8 that they don’t already get from Windows 7-or a great desktop Linux like Mint or Mac OS X Lion? I can’t.

Indeed, I can’t think of a single significant new improvement in Windows 8. The ability to refresh the operating system? Faster booting? A Windows Store? Live boot from a USB drive? Come on! All these features have been around in other operating systems for years, and while sure, they’re nice, put them all together and at most they’re worth a Windows 7 Service Patch–not a whole new operating system. Though the Apple IOS also has some shortcomings, for example, Apple iPad’ compatibility, it can not transfer music from iPad to other mobile devices, if you want to do this , the best way is to use an ipad music transfer . Many people still choose the Apple ipad.

True, Apple can still sell its current iPhone 4S in Germany, but this is a real kick in the teeth for Apple and its patent attack ways. Apple is putting the best face it can on its defeat. An Apple spokesperson said, “Even if some iPad and iPhone models are currently not available in our online store in Germany, customers should have no problem finding these devices in our stores or from authorized dealers.” Sure. Right. The bottom line is that iCloud’s functionality has been crippled and German Apple customers will have trouble getting their favorite mobile products.

2. There is much more cannibalization of Windows PCs by the iPad,

Apple apparently welcomes the iPad cannibalizing the market for both Windows PCs and Macs, according to comments made during the company’s Jan. 24 earnings call.

“There is cannibalization clearly of the Mac by the iPad, but we continue to believe there is much more cannibalization of Windows PCs by the iPad,” Apple CEO Tim Cook told analysts and media listening to the call, “and there’s many more of them to cannibalize. And so we love that trend.”

He also suggested that iOS devices are gaining more traction in the enterprise space, traditionally a stronghold for Windows PCs. “We’ve seen iPhones sort of being a catalyst,” he said. “And the iPad moves after the iPhone. And in several accounts, we’ve seen the Mac follow that. So there are clear examples where one product has pulled the other.”

3. Metro: An ugly, useless interface.

As everyone knows, Windows 8 has a totally new default interface: Metro. When I look at Metro, however, I see gaudy colors, boxy designs, applications that can either run as a small tile or as full screen with no way to resize or move windows. Where have I seen this before? Wait, I know! Windows 1.0!

More to the point, almost everyone knows the current Windows interface. It’s changed over the years, but you could take someone who last touched Windows back in the Windows 95 days and drop that in front of them of Windows 7 and they’d be able to get work done. Metro? It’s entirely different. Heck, Microsoft has even dropped the Start button in the latest version!

In short, even if Metro was the best thing since sliced bread, which it isn’t, it will still require users to learn a new way of doing the same old thing. That’s a failure of an idea right here. Sure, you can use the ‘Classic’ desktop experience instead, but hey, I have an idea! Why not just use the Windows XP or 7 “classic” interface instead?

4. Apple iPad is more popular than Windows 8

Despite the Windows brand name and what will surely be an intensive marketing push, Windows 8 could face something of an uphill battle in attempting to seize share from the iPad. Other tablets have plunged into the tablet arena with huge advertising budgets and the stated aim of becoming an “iPad killer” only to find apathetic customers and a general lack of buzz. What is more, Apple iPad and kindle fire are more popular than Windows 8, they have some shortcoming, for Apple ipad, it only can support mov file and mp4, if you want to play other videos on it, the best way is to use a mac dvd to ipad converter. For kindle fire, we can not convert dvd to kindle fire, we also need a converter to help us. So I think Windows 8 can solve this problem.

“Our checks indicate most sales of most competing tablet offerings including the Motorola Xyboard, RIM PlayBook, HTC View 4G, Samsung Galaxy tab and several other Android-based devices,” T. Michael Walkley, an analyst with Canaccord Genuity, wrote in a Jan. 24 research note. “Also consistent with our checks, the Amazon Kindle Fire did not adversely impact iPad sales but more likely had a greater impact on e-reader sales.”

And if Microsoft and its manufacturing partners begin rolling out Windows 8 tablets in the second half of the year, their shiny new devices could find themselves battling toe-to-toe against Apple’s next-generation tablet. Walkley predicted that the iPad 3 will debut during the June quarter.

5. Apple iPad3 is coming

Apple's third-generation iPad is expected by one market watcher to soon arrive during an advantageous "window of opportunity," in which competitors have nothing significant to offer, that will further increase the company's lead in the mobile computing market.

Analyst Chris Whitmore with Deutsche Bank said in a note to investors on Monday that the line between tablets and notebook computers is rapidly blurring as devices like the iPad become more powerful. He noted that uses for the iPad have rapidly expanded to include textbooks, medical diagnostic tools, and pilot flight bags.
