Intel Chief Executive Paul Otellini slammed Windows 8 during a meeting with employees in Taiwan, according to a Bloomberg report, saying the operating system still has bugs and is being released before it's ready.Windows 8 is sitting at a mere 0.33%, just a fifth of what Windows 7 had achieved [at the same period of time before the official retail launch]
Redmond would have to pay me some really serious cash before I would install Win8 on a real computer. But even if that daydream became reality, Win8 would only be installed on my old Dell laptop and sit in the corner of the room running the screensaver...... and nothing else.
I read one reviewer calling Win8 a mess, but a beautiful mess..... Wonder what he was smoking?
Probably not smoking but drinking the koolaid.
You'll never know what you're living for until you know what you're willing to die for.
The biggest bug of win8, is the one that's touted a feature, namely Metro. We're not talking phones Microsoft with a touch screen, we're talking a computer with a keyboard and mouse. No, I wouldn't want my computer to operate like a smart phone, as long as I interface with it through a mouse and keyboard.
Some have made the analogy of going from a command line to a GUI, but there's a difference, we had mice before that was proposed. If someone would have suggested Windows, without the invention of the mouse, and without it being available for my computer, I would not have wanted to use it. Sure, there are keyboard shortcuts, which can be great if they're used as shortcuts but if one had to use them in place of having no mouse at all, it would be too gosh darn encombersome. The UI needs to make sense with the input devices one has.
So I'll tell these bafoons where it's at. Until every computer which is pre-loaded with win8, has a touch screen monitor standard, I do NOT want Metro. On many phones it doesn't matter, because one can just touch the display and get it to do what one wants. But as to having to mouse around Metro, I have better things to do with my time... As long as the laptops and the like from Dell, from Compaq, from HP, and all others come without a touch screen, then I do NOT want Metro, OK? Want us to switch UI's, then give us input devices that make sense with the new UI, a mouse and keyboard makes no sense with Metro... Making the computer work like a phone, in concept does nothing for me, when the hardware one is interacting with it with, are still very different, physically...
win 7 is working fine i wont need to upgrade for yrs. actually xp is still a great o.s. if i could of bought xp at wally i would have.
To quote some of my friends that run a small IT shop
XP?
XP is Windows shorthand for eXtra Problems
And I will just try it, if I can get it as a MSDNAA licence and download for free, but only as a dual boot with Win7 or better a triple boot with Linux...
Well, have to take a look at the server if they finally added licence codes to the MSDNAA server I have got access to.
