oh i know why.... nvidia gpu's dont support direct x 11.1 ... win 8 completely abandoned direct x 9 and 10... that could be... lol joke... win 8.1 is still a day old since leaked yesterday... i like 8.1 better than 8. seems lighter as well... but i wont removd win 7 on my lappy. i still like win 7. but my gaming rig is on 8.1 now and so far, its working fine
... Then why not blame IE11 for not fully supporting the web standard (don't quote me on this lol), or blame the website for not properly supporting IE11 (is IE11 even widely available?), or even blame NVIDIA for not properly supporting your card under 8.1?
And Windows xp was faster than 7... 3.11 faster than xp... They're all obviously going in the direction of cloud hosted OS You're wasting your breath if you think that they're gonna stop. You can protest all you want, hold out all you want... Every computer is going to be integrated with the internet and privacy is going bye-bye... If you wanna be private, ditch your internet and go use windows 7 in a cave.
8.1 is crap compared with 7. Plain and simple. Oh, btw, where is the ad-hoc in 8.1 as they promissed?. Because on 7 we have ad-hoc and we dont need to make a stupid bat to create one... and that (stupid) logic, allows them to do what ever they want with YOUR PRIVATE information. I know, there are a lot of ppl (most of the ppl) like you, with the so called "if you are not doing nothing wrong, then you dont have nothing to hide". But trust me, the ppl will release that their privacy is exposed so much that will be too late to understand the damage they can do with their data.
didnt say I agree with it, but it is the solid truth, EVERYONE collects data on the web, to think otherwise is to be the fool. Have a cappuccino you seem edgy today
I've searched around and can find no mention of ad-hoc network support. Where did you get this "promise"?
This laughable crap is really blowing my mind - "oh windows 8 suck, plain and simple. Win 7 forever " I guess you guys still own some of the Moskwich cars then. Only thing that is plain and simple is that majority of ppl are simply unable to adapt and spill hate because some app froze or because they can not boot to desktop, which is just beoynd everything.
If we had W7 sp2 i would have never change it, but it's painful after a clean install to get all these updates, M$ really knows how to control it's customers one day it may come even vista got sp2
So you have a BMW. I've heard the next BMW will be a bicycle instead of a car. I'm sure you'll still upgrade because you're easy to adapt and like new stuff above all else.
Please - XP didn't hang around due to efficiency. XP hung around mostly due to bad press concerning Vista and due to unwillingness to change (either hardware OR software), though even Vista didn't require a lot of change to either. I noticed something about Vista's sales pace - it went up after memory pricing dropped. Why would an external event cause sales of a "bad" OS to increase? Easily explained - one of the "footbullets" was Vista memory usage - it was higher than that of XP. Not markedly higher, but higher. With memory pricing seemingly headed for the basement, adding memory to a PC was no longer a wallet-raping experience - and the memory-usage "footbullet" of Vista lost its relevance. Simultaneous with the fall in memory pricing was the explosion of x64 CPU availability. Bad news - for XP32; without patching, it could not take advantage of all the features of the new - and affordable - x64 CPUs. Worse, if you retrofitted older hardware with a newer CPU (if it was even possible) that selfsame new hardware ALSO required patches (BIOS updates mostly). Thus it was cheaper to replace the hardware as opposed to upgrading the hardware - especially when an OS change was included. Thus the success of 7 (which took greater advantage of both external events than Vista, though Vista DID get some benefits out of those events).
So I guess Vista being released as a buggy mess had nothing to do with the slow uptake and then getting quite good after the service packs ! You know why 7 is popular and will remain popular, it bloody well works and doesn't require you to install a start button to make it productive. It also doesn't try to sell you a bunch of useless apps ! The fact is that 8 is fundamentally flawed and will flop. 8 is Microsoft's idea of what an OS should be and 7 is what the majority of customers want!
