Topic: Windows 8 is Vista part deux.
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #14,186
Just checked it out and SMH. Windows 7 is great, why ruin it so badly for the sake of looks? Most of the changes are things I could get over but why is there such shitty support for multitasking? I feel they're copying the worst aspects of GNOME 3 and iOS at the expense of the best aspects of Windows itself.
I'm starting to think developers aren't qualified to be in charge of designing software anymore.
Seems it's time to switch to ugly XFCE.

so don't buy Windows 8, it's not for you.
it's for people who want shiny new touchscreen Windows on a tablet PC.

that won't necessarily be the case in a few months time
iPads will be considered like toys compared to the real computers that happen to be 'tablets' or 'slates'
and yes running iOS makes it not a real computer

Aren't you forgetting MS had their shot at the tablet market 10 years ago and failed big time?

aren't you forgetting that the technology just wasn't good enough yet?
the Apple newton and all of the PDAs failed too
past failures mean nothing
in fact MS is in a unique position since they've had that experience and know what not to do

MS fanboy detected.
Dude, get over it. MS sucks huge donkey cock now. Approximately ZERO top developers are willing to work for them.

i'm no fanboy, but i'm not a hater either
MS sucks just as much donkey cock as they ever did
just because you weren't old enough to remember the various debacles and shitstorms doesn't mean MS is any worse now then they used to be
10 years is a long time in technology
the market has changed, the available tech has changed, the design paradigms have changed
just because the tablet market failed to take off once doesn't mean the shift isn't currently happening

Maybe you're right. I'm not old enough. I had to google Microsoft Bob once to figure out what the hell people were talking about.

Maybe browsing Facebook and setting up emails. Most IT is rock-hard for people who aren't trained in it.

@252,028 (A)what if Windows 8 is the next Microsoft BoBâ„¢?
or Windows 95â„¢, 98â„¢, 98SEâ„¢, meâ„¢, and XPâ„¢ don't forget people used to hate that one too
"lolol i think the next windows will be <insert windows version here> all over again"
i'm pretty much just glad Windows is a stable OS in 2011 and doesn't bluescreen all over the place

Skipping every second Windows OS seems to be a good rule of thumb.

*correction. In Star Trek, even numbered movies are legit, odd numbered are weak. Seems to be the opposite in Windows land.
