Windows 8 will fail just like vista did. Windows 7 works fine for me and i won't swap it for a tablet os.
I'm thinking they will make the Metro and tablet stuff optional if they want Win8 to be adopted by PC users. I'm sure they have a plan for this...or maybe not.
don't think so i think it will attract more people i think its beautiful os and useful cause it combine desktop and tablet os its just the same problem every time people afraid of change
i think windows 8 must be tested befor testing,i have see lot of video and i was thnk windowss 8 suck but after install and use windows 8 myself, it's look really good
Your complaint towards the moderation is your opinion and without an particular example I cannot care about the 'issue'. Everybody can use the report a post function and within hours we care about. You never should forget that we are voluntarily here and I would say MDL is a forum that offers most of tolerance of different opinions, compared to other forums. So if you want to change something, then help us please by quoting examples and detailed posts. We don't allow insults and ever have reacted on rule violations, it makes me sad to hear we do not care, but in fact we have to make most effort to keep the w8 forum running. The title of this poll questions w8 and everybody can have a personal opinion here.
Thanks for your responce Yen. It's nice to know that the moderation is watching what goes on and I'm sure you do a fine job. I think a difference of opinion is fine and makes for a good discussion but it needs to be done without the condescending responces I've seen here at times. I can't find the examples and I'd rather not rat anyone out over something so trivial. Thanks for your time.
I am SO happy I switched last year to OSX via Hackintosh. I was there prior to windows and then the first useable version 3.11 for workgroups. Today Windows 7 is installed seamlessly via Parallels on two of my OSX systems for emergency compatibility only. Windows 8 MetroUI may work well on tablets or other touch screens but IMHO has little value to a desktop. Combine the Magic Trackpad to OSX with full gestures and nothing else comes close.
I just registered just to say IT SUCKS on this poll. Normally I'm more of a reader than writer but I couldn't let this one go..First off I don't think there is anything wrong with the OS itself as it is based on the proven Win 7 concept. However the look & feel of the UI is just horrible. As long as MS sticks to Metro and refuses to build in the normal classic interface they will lose out on a lot of sales. People should simply be given the choice if the want Metro or classic UI. Just my two cents but I think a lot of people will agree on this. Cheers Ron
Well, they launched the preview, whereby Win7 users can try it out, apparently claiming that this is the biggest change since 95... Not according to Yen and the kernel change criteria, so sounds PR-hollow, this...
im guessing the majority of you have never used a real OS (PCLinuxOS) (mint) (opensuse) ect . for me windows 8 is just more of the same gui tinkering , windows will never be rated in my book until it does away with that darned registry, im not a fan boy i used windows OS for a decade until i tried linux KDE 2 years ago and i will never go back , altho i need to keep abreast of what redmond does for my own selfish reasons ££££££££ . enjoy the new GUI people , lol on linux u can have a new GUI for every day of the week , if ur heart desires. peace
Yes, it sucks. Windows without Windows start menu is not a Windows any longer. This damn metro is good for touch screens, not for PCs. What's wrong happened with MS?
Oh look a "registry" Argument! The registry is a much better place than these thousand little config files Linux has.. on Windows it's a few bundled together for easy viewing/editing pleasure.
