Some project even sooner release http://www.geek.com/microsoft/windows-9-could-arrive-in-october-leaker-suggests-1582492/

This source projected the Win7 release almost to the day so it has some credibility.

Hey they may be bad, but look on the bright side: At least they're not Apple  :ahand.


Besides, I personally don't mind Windows 8 at all.

Yes.   I mean who would want to be Apple? Having a share price of $540 a share vs. $38 a share? Jeez...Apple just suxors.    :rolleyes:

(Yes...I know Apple's stock has declined over the past year...but tell me the last time Microsoft excited anyone beyond the XBOX One release (and maybe not even that).

Just sayin....

Ever going to learn?
Its not them that have to learn. Its the schmucks that absolutely positively HAVE to have the latest versions of everything that have to learn.

Im still using XP Pro. It still works and suits all my needs and will stay until I either buy something with a newer version already installed or I have no other choice.

if more games worked natively on apple, i would be all over it...as much as i dislike apple (not much better than microsux in their business practices).

I've had to reset my uncles computer twice already after he accepted the 8.1 update. It's been troublesome.

That's because its on a surface.  Every critique I've read about win8 slams MS for trying to make people interact with desktops/laptops as if they were tablets.  No kidding win8 works great on a tablet, because the UI was optimized for tablets.  Forcing a tablet UI onto the desktop and laptops is what people are cursing MS for, and its why many people are skipping win8 entirely.  People LIKE win7, even people who are still pissed that MS took away and never gave back the button for "up one folder", because the UI works fine.

Fix what people actually don't like about win7, and they'd be treated like heros.  Roll in some tech advances under the hood, and the techies would praise their genius.  Make a desktop user pretend his computer is a ginormous tablet however...  WTF?

Not to worry Win9 is bringing back the desktop experience. They also changed the design teams and the development will be open again, not secret like with Win8. This means many preview releases and listening to customer feedback.
