With the launch of the Windows 8 ecosystem, it’s abundantly clear that they have put their best foot forward when it comes to creating innovative products. However, there are certain issues that don’t seem to be resolved just yet.

With that said, here are the 3 worst features of the Windows 8 ecosystem:

#1: Common interface with no apps

Compared to Apple and Google, Microsoft has a dearth of apps at its store. To tell you how bad it is, there are no apps for Instagram, Twitter or even Facebook just yet. With this crucial element now in the hands of third-party developers, one will have to wait and see if this affects the Windows ecosystem as a whole in a positive or negative in a few months from now. Worse still is the fact that the Windows Store isn’t unified for all devices but has been segregated for each type of device.

This means that if you buy Microsoft Office, it will not be accessible across all devices but just for the one you’ve bought.

#2: The confusion surrounding Windows RT

Most consumers blame Microsoft for misleading them to believe that the applications that can run on Windows 8 can run on Windows RT as well. If you must know, Windows RT will not run any application except for those that come pre-installed such as Microsoft Office, certain legacy applications as well as the file management system that you’ve seen with earlier versions of Windows operating systems.

#3: The inclusion of advertising – everywhere

Unlike Android or even Apple, Microsoft makes no attempt to limit their efforts to promote their apps or content. While the other two services do not interfere with your choices, they most certainly stay out of the way.

With Windows 8, whether you access the Music, Video or Games apps, they come across as sales tools and not apps designed for users – and it’s throughout the new operating system. Advertising has become part of the norm, and unashamedly so.
