So, one day, as a Gartner analyst you post on the blog of your employer that Windows 8 is "bad" from the perspective of a desktop user, the next day you retract this statement. That would never happen, right? You couldn't be more wrong. In an interview with PCPro, Gunnar Berger, analyst at Gartner has stated that his previous statement which said that using a keyboard and mouse in Windows 8 was "in one word: bad" has been removed from his blog and was taken out of context.
Besides that, in the interview he stresses that it was just his view on Windows 8, written on a Gartner blog, but not official Gartner research. In the interview, Gunnar Berger also says that his overall opinion on Windows 8 is that it's really good and a compelling product. And when asked about using a keyboard and mouse in Windows 8, he no longer calls it bad, but a weak spot. Yeah, who is using a mouse and keyboard to operate their PC anyway?
