A bigger issue may be Johnston's view that the latest iteration of the Microsoft operating system does not offer much in the way of "notable new features." While Windows 7 had new features worth buying and Vista was "questionable" but probably still worth it, Windows 8 does not offer the same kind of improvements. Users  who have moved from the traditional look of Windows to the applications with the ribbon now go to the Metro style design. Johnston also noted Microsoft's move to a new file system in Window Server 2012, which he said is the first new file system in a decade. "We don't expect Windows server 2012 to be good when it first comes out," he said.
