ya its made for touch sceens but work fine with a mouse and work faster then vista did. ROFL - Windows 3.1 as better than Vista tbh. This is such an absolutely absurd and ignorant statement that I can only imagine you're trolling at this point..
Vista right now is almost on par with win 7 in performance and capability..
Why are you nubs so obsessed with windows 3.1? The truly hot spot was 3.11... |

I don't remember many people looking back wistfully on 3.11 as the Start Button was so vastly superior to Program Manager. I had a couple of customers who whined a bit...but...Microsoft still included Program Manager. At least you could placate them. They could migrate over on their own terms. It was good change smartly implemented. What's happening now has nothing to do with good change or smart implementation. It's panic over having been caught with their pants down when a new market emerged. Every attempt to enter it has been a failure so far. Now, it's time for the Hail Mary - Forced migration of their existing user-base. I see a painfully prolonged death taking place, here. Forced migration? Excuse me but what are you talking about? |

Taking a tarted up version of a UI that already failed on MP3 players, slapping it onto phones (That are in the process of failing), slapping it onto a half-baked "convergence device" that does nothing particularly well (But hey...kickstand) then slapping the UI onto desktops in the hopes users will suddenly "come around" and embrace it thus stopping the failure.

Just because Windows 8 i a bit different from Windows 7 doesn't means that Windows 8 is horribly / bad just because of that.
But if you talks about Windows 8 for normal computers (not laptops), then i kinda understand you. But for a laptop, Windows 8 is awesome. My current EVE videos.

I'll type slowly as you obviously missed it the first time.
When we moved from 3.11 to 95, the option existed for users to cross over on their own terms (Inclusion of Program Manager). They build a bridge for those users and they came over eventually with minimal fuss.
Now, we are completely removing prior methods and forcing people to like it or lump it. No bridge.

You're still not making sense as I can cross over to win8 if I want at a reduced price or I can stick with win7 which is what I'm doing. Hell I still have a machine with an XP install and I've ran into some computers that still run 98se.. SO where's this forced migration you keep talking about? |

I ment the shitload of exploits already out for it. I have no opinion on the OS form/implementation since I dont run it and cant responcibly implement it in the corp network. |

I reluctantly switched to Win7 from XP due to lack of support for anything beyond DirectX9, after getting a DX11 video card in late 2010. Otherwise, I would still be using XP. There are things that annoy me in Win7 even today, after 2+ years of usage, things that did not annoy me in XP. Stuff like the OS not remembering left-open explorer window size and position on screen between reboots, or randomly deciding to do auto-sorts when more files show up vs appending them at the end or vice-versa on each reboot, and other minor nitpicks.
I use Win7 with "classic windows" look, manually tweaked further to look and feel almost like Win98SE. Can I do that in Win8 ? From what I read here, it's at least theoretically possible, but I am not 100% sure.
If yes, I'll get it. Eventually. After at least SP1. Preferably SP2. No rush. I'm no early adopter of any new software/hardware, I wait for others to get bumrushed by security flaws (software) and less-than-optimal initial revisions (hardware), then purchase stuff after plenty of reviews with some serious usage time are out there.
If not, I'll wait until I have no choice (DX12 or whatnot else only available on some specific Win OS for whatever hardware I'll be buying in the more distant future) and get whatever the oldest OS they have out by then that supports it (probably at least a Win9, or maybe even Win10, for all I know). http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/User:Akita_T T2 BPO poll: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=114789 Buying this: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=147098 |

I just upgraded to windows 8 pro this past weekend. I was running win7 pro(64) before which I purchased for only 40 bucks upon release and I only spent 40 bucks on win8 pro(64).
Upon first boot, there was about an hour of "watdafuqery". Took some getting use to since I am not familiar with the tablet scene. I use desktops and android phones. Macs are for wannabe cool kids and I'm too lazy to use linux.
After the first hour of actually learning how to use and optimize like I did with win7, it was actually awesome. I did do an upgrade from win7 so I didn't have to do much as far as optimizing. It is also installed on a SSD and I actually noticed 2 second faster from the already fast 12 second boot time after the upgrade.
I also run from the desktop mode. I especially love the right click feature on the "start" metro button in the bottom left corner. It gives me everything I need and I never have to use the metro UI. If I need to access programs quickly and often, I create a quick launch icon on the taskbar. Best thread ever!!!
Stick around. I'm full of bad ideas. ~Isaac Clarke |
