Windows "Blue" Semi-Confirmed

If you consider job postings for MS specifically mentioning it, that is *raises hand*

Sooo...The "OG" Windows 8 flopped comments commencing in 3..2..1..Go!

 

Okay they really need put a Start menu into the damn windows. Once I find a linux version that supports hardware accelaration of lenovo trackpoint, I will simply say goodbye to windows and never look back.

 

Who thinks absolutely nothing will change in the UI and they will continue on their merry way towards their misguided goals? (Raises hand)...

 

I don't want to upgrade my OS every year?! On the contrary: I would like to have stability and cycles about 5 to 7 years! (That is the time I use the same hardware.) - They want more often and more money, I understand that .. GR€€DY as they are, but they won't get it from ME!

Luckily for them plenty of idiots are around that will gladly pay every year for some color changes. - I don't need Apple II, I hate the original enough!!! - Apps. Shops. Restrictions. Simplifications. - They can go to hell if this is the road they want to force the sheep on.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a Brand New Sony Vaio windows 8 and A macbook Pro and used windows 8 for a couple of days then gave it to my wife and been on my macbook Pro ever since. Everything is better with the macbook OS X MT lion besides the OS there is the build quality,the track pad,the Keyboard,the Display,the sound quality etc.Also it's very easy access to the internals for upgrades or replacement.

 

Raises hand.They should have stuck to windows 7 great success. A pattern with MS windows. Windows Me Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows 8

 

I didn't have a very good experience with Windows 8, I think they screwed up more than they fixed/added in my opinion.

I think Microsoft is making too many bad decisions, and I personally am not a fan lately.

Hopefully sooner than later, they'll get back on track.

For the time being, Windows 7 is what I use , it's solid and just works

 

Also raises hand ...

 

As long as Microsoft refuses to give me back a start button (or a shortcut on the screen to doubleclick) and do not allow me to select the environment to boot into (or at least remember the environment that I used when I shut it down, and get me there after the reboot) when starting the pc, I'll refuse to use their new OSes.

i'm not that crazy about W8 now that i have tried it solid for the last 3 months.

i'm upgrading my computer next week if i have the time.

i intend to re-install W7 as well as Linux Mint XFCE or KDE.
i'm starting to think the Linux Mint is more deserving of my money than M$.

if i can get that one Windows game working in Mint i'll probably ditch Windows permanently.

if not, i'll keep Windows just for that one game, Mint for everything else.
