How to Disagree with Someone Else's Deeply Held Beliefs

Yet another one based on a real conversation. Someone told me that Windows 8 was “not a functional operating system.” I said that I had a computer running Windows 8, and that it copied and moved files, opened and closed programs, and otherwise fulfilled all the functions of an operating system.

He said, “Not well.”

I pointed out that that wasn’t the point, after all? He wasn’t arguing with me well, but he was still entitled to be called an arguer. My logic didn’t seem to sway him.
