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

If their true intention is to destroy ease of use with their operating system, that may be the next step.

This made me lol. I <3 you Hooded Smack

I'm not sure what Amit is on a rant about. It looks exactly like Windows 7.

Wait, it's the Windows 8 desktop background that is polluting the UI.

We can mark off Windows 8, then? Good riddance.

Doubtful that Microsoft will change course. Why do that when they can make money by selling Windows 9 as the fix to Windows 8?

Sad, really, because 8 is my favourite number.

I'm just waiting for Windows 10. Because we all know that OSX will still be OSX by then, but on "Zebra" or something. And then Apple will try to sue Windows. So my guess is Windows 10 will actually have a name.

zOS, go!

Gotta disagree with one of the comments:

In 17 years of using Windows I have never used the Windows key. Interestingly I’ve never seen any user of a computer use the Windows key. I don’t want to learn and remember key combinations to do things that I can currently do trivially using the start menu.


I use the Windows key multiple times a day, to lock my PC (key + L) and to show desktop (key +D) and also in W7 to move screens across windows, full screen them etc.

Glad MS are getting a ton of backlash.

Oh, forgot to mention this earlier:

That's an even-numbered release. Going by Microsoft's track record and assuming Windows 9 will be a success, Windows 10 will suck.

I secretly hope Microsoft will still plow ahead with raping Windows.

The more bad changes there are, the more likely any one person will hate the entire OS because it changed something they liked. At least then there won't be mixed feelings and "well, it's not so bad if I just disable it" opinions.
