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

I'm open to the concept.

My unborn organisms could then start interaction pre-birth.

First Windows RT device review.

Viewed within a vacuum, the VivoTab RT is a strong first effort from ASUS as part of the new Windows tablet push. It’s a conservative and mature design that has proven itself in the marketplace. It’s a thin tablet with a clean, modern aesthetic that doesn’t push the boundary much. A high quality IPS display, solid performance, decent camera, a well-designed laptop dock, good battery life that becomes awesome when you include the dock - really, there isn’t too much wrong here. It’s a well-rounded, high quality product.

It doesn't sound so horrible. However, I stand by what I said in saying that the Microsoft Store is a horrible thing.

Was watching tv and came across an ad for windows 8. Not only was it over 5 fucking minutes long, 90% of it was jessica watson saying how much she relies on calendars.

Relevant to windows 8 testing.

I guess you know when an operating system is miserably failing based on how hard microsoft tries to force people to it


...It's funny because when you limit this shit to only one version of an OS, you essentially ensure that it will never be supported by developers.

Expect Microsoft to bring it to W7 within 6 months after release, when only Microsoft Train Simulator and Flight Simulator are the only two games that support it, while all other big games in the pipeline refuse to touch it.

I've never seen so much idiocy before in my entire life.
With a new platform of Windows will come a new platform of DirectX with a subset containing all prior versions of DirectX.
There's nothing new in DX11.1 aside from better XNA integration.
There's no new tech.
Why are you complaining.

He's getting in before they announce DirectX 12.

What's this about XNA? Microsoft have been silent on the subject for quite some time and I can't find any references that mention XNA integration.

Especially since XNA is still sitting on DX9 afaik. Moved away from it since I needed some schmexy DX11 features.

New game console is going to decide whether they ditch XNA altogether.

Steve Sinofsky, heir to the CEO of Microsoft, also the FUCKBAG CUNTWAD PIECE OF SHIT responsible for the Windows 8 trainwreck, quit Microsoft.

Maybe there is some hope in the company's future after all...
