The Windows 8 and other failed Microsoft products thread - Windows 8 "relaunches" Feb

[t3h m00kz]

ubuntu for android is going to be absolutely fucking phenomenal. I can't wait... and it's going to be fucking free. I'm still not too happy with the new Unity desktop from the little I've used it, Gnome was superior in every way.

and, you know, after thinking about it for a bit, I've come to realize that windows 8 may work reasonably well with devices such as the ASUS EP121.

this thing.




Call it the whole "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" perspective, but tablet PCs are far more versatile than devices like the iPad and even android tablets, and that's coming from a droid user. Windows 8 may be just what Microsoft needs to drag the spotlight away from apple trying to monopolize the tablet market and give users a more flexible experience.

right now though, their UI is absolutely horrendous, and their obsession with spouting the word "app" everywhere is pretty disgusting.

Problem is, they're trying to market to the masses, so catchphrases will get tossed more than a hot potato with aids


Now can we please get back on topic guys? Terry Crews, go

if they try to force this down everybody's throats like they did with vista,

what? why would you get mad if they repeated (they won't) vista and forced a damned good operating system down people's throats :]

Also fuck ubuntu, kubuntu is so much better than that piece of trash.

yeah this. I've got an HP TX 2510us and it's stylus is fantastic.

the pc is great aside from the part where it burns itself out within two years of regular use because the cpu runs at 100c :]

windows 8 will have a KILL switch allowing MS to remotely delete shit from your pc.

If this is the direction Windows intends to take going into the future, it may be time to invest myself in learning to use a Linux OS.

XP supremacy.

Is this a turning point for linux-based systems? What has hold me back so far is driver support, the new ubuntu unity bar, and lack of game support.
