@meew0: It's not worse than Windows 7; first Windows 2000 came out, but that's incredibly old, so Microsoft made XP. Than that was old, so they made Vista. But Vista wasn't a great OS, so they made Windows 7. Windows 7 was perfection. So now Microsoft is actually advancing and making a new operating system since there's nothing left to perfect.
That seems pretty neat actually. I'm currently using Windows 7.
still using 2000 :') (for building itchy++). got windows 8 on my laptop!

I have a windows 7 desktop and a macbook pro.

XGamer42 · 2013-02-02 17:22:32

Windows 8 is ok, but the ommision of a proper start button kills half the OS.
P.S Am I the only person here who likes Windows Vista??

I'm pretty sure Windows 8 can run Windows 7-compatible applications, in "desktop" mode. You should be able to run Minecraft on Win8 perfectly. Certification simply assures compatibility with the tiled menu and other Win8 exclusive features, I believe.

You will only ever be seeing the Windows 8 Metro screen again by accident, in my experience.

I don't know, I figure it'd be kinda useful in tablet PCs. It's what it was designed for.

Why exactly would you like it? Everything wrong in Vista was fixed in Win7, I hear. I wouldn't know, I've been using GNU/Linux (Ubuntu, Linpus) lately.

Windows 8 was the reason I switched to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. My dad got it for my sister's computer, and I find it absolutely horrible and awkward to use on a PC with a mouse. It would be better with a tablet, but come on, how can anyone take those things seriously? tongue

ImagineIt · 2013-02-14 21:00:07

I got the Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13! And my mac-using sister is jealous that my computer turns into a tablet. smile

I like vista. Like the goodness of xp and 7 combined.

@imagineit: what is it like? is the tablet mode heavy? How long does the tablet/laptop battery last? Is the processor in the base or behind the screen? is it fast? sorry about question tsunami tongue

ImagineIt · 2013-02-14 22:05:24

It's pretty fast. Tablet mode of sort of heavy, while laptop mode is very light. The battery is fine for my needs, I'm not exactly sure how long. The processor is in the... I think screen. Maybe not. hmm

I just think he's saying that Apple products are mainstream and everyone wants them because everyone has them, and I have to admit it is true.

Look, as bad as Windows 8 may seem, its actually pretty cool. The lack of the start button is obvious, but you could just hit start then type your search term. That's the feature I used the most in Win 7, but I still like Windows 8. Once you get used to it, I think its a great OS. Plus, it starts up WAY faster than the previous version.

Exactly. In Vista you was able to go on a holiday while the computer was booting, but now in Windows 8, you have to get straight to work/school/gaming/etc. It's not fair :'(

harry85 · 2013-03-26 00:54:23

I don't feel like updating to Windows 8... neutral I guess I will wait for "Windows 9"

I agree 100%. I could not say it better myself.

jji7skyline · 2013-03-26 08:23:51

Windows 8 doesn't seem a good product for professional users though.

LeDerpy123 · 2013-03-26 14:51:41

Then they can use Ubuntu, which is just as great. But Windows 8 is for gamers, casual users, and other peoples.

Exactly. Professional users are now going to turn to other platforms, graphic design and other creative arts pros mostly to Macs and programmers, networking, server admins to Ubuntu and other Linux distros. Oh yea!

Why do you hate apple?

MrFlash67 · 2013-03-27 14:45:54

Having played with it on shop displays I have decided that I would like it.... On a tablet. The metro or whatever looks terrible for a mouse/trackpad. Also, how fast are the boot/shutdown times? I have a real powerful Win7, but I might be able to make a soft-boiled egg in the time it takes to shutdown.

Because I do. The products they make are pieces of trash packaged in a pretty glossy frame.
Mac. People are unaware of how much they could do with a PC versus a Mac. And there are so many things you can do on a PC that you would expect to be on anything. For example, I want to see every MP3 on my computer. I press Win + F. Then I type in *.mp3. Then all of my mp3s show up. Can you do that on a Mac? I don't think so. You have to open Finder and press all my files. Then you have to scroll and find Music, but it only shows all music, not just mp3s. And here's another one. Programs freeze on any computer all the time. I press CTRL + SHIFT + TAB and it opens the task manager. I go to processes, find the process, and kill it. It's done. How ever with a Mac, you have to find it on the dock, which can be annoying if you have the 21in. Mac and you have 20 programs open. Then you have to right click on the one button mouse, then press force quit. Then you have to wait about 5 minutes for the program to close. And then another 5 for the icon to leave the dock. Come on.
iPhones. What a mistake. There are no customization options at all. Just a fixed grid of apps. That's where Android and Windows Phone come into play. Android, you can customize it to what ever you want, ever. Windows Phone 8, slightly more limited, I know, but you can still adjust tile size and colors and stuff.
iPad. Slower than a snail walking backwards. Battery life is shorter than the time it takes to speak this sentence. Sure, the 4 finger stuff is pretty cool, but you wouldn't know that unless you were to look for it. The 1 speaker sounds like Spongebob laughing, not in a good way.
iPods. Same as iPhone. But no 3G (4G, whatever). But still costs like $200.
All iDevices. You drop it on the floor, your screen cracks, the hard drive gives out, and you lose all of your files. And it just so happens that your warranty ran up last week. You should have gotten a case! no problem, I'll just drive to the nearest Apple Store that is about an hour away and buy a case for the low price of $70! What a bargain!!!! Yay!
iTunes for Windows. On a Mac, it's a good product (it figures as much). On the PC, it will freeze every minute and lags like you would not believe because the iProgrammers are too lazy and ignorant to figure out how to program in C or C++ or some other MS programming language.
iTunes Store. $1.29 for a song? Are you serious? What happened to $0.99? That's just crazy. Ok. I want to preview a song, but I have internet speeds below 3 mbps. I have to wait for a minute or so for the store to load, then to find the song. I preview the song. Loading stream... Plays song for 3 seconds. Re buffering stream... Continues till the user punches hole through monitor from anger.
I hope I have made my point in answering your question.
Have a good day.

No,actually I was trashing Apple. Read the post above this one. But yes, they are mainstream.
