Intel CEO Paul Otellini has told his staff that Windows 8 is simply 'not ready.'
The word comes via a private meeting Otellini had with employees in Taipei earlier this week, and the exec is said to have told them that the software needs improvement.
Despite the harsh words, Otellini also claims to be fully supportive of the new operating system, and that all of the improvements will be patched after the OS ships. The exec also said releasing the OS early is "the right thing to do."
Otellini is not the first major executive to bash Windows 8, with Valve's Gabe Newell calling it a 'catastrophe' in a public statement.
Regardless, Windows 8 is set for launch on October 26th.
