except 111 isn't that useful at all over 11.

It still reflects the kind of bullshit Microsoft wants to pull to force people to use a terrible OS.

What happens when DX12 comes out?

Also, here's an interesting comment from a blog of Microsoft employees:

Good riddance, Mr. Sinofsky. Unfortunately for MS, Julie Larson Green makes the man look like a genius.

Apparently she and her team of grade A dipshits are the ones who came up with this whole retarded Metro clusterfuck on Windows.

Also, Sinofsky seems to have been universally hated, and even the employees developing Windows 8 thought Metro was the wrong direction. They think the UI is a "stupid Metro 2D sesame street primary color UX" and they believe they should "re-embrace .NET, ditch metro and start building new Longhorn." While they support many Windows 8 new features, they believe UI just killed the product.

Yeah, all of that infighting on their end is definitely a good sign.... not. I don't know about any of you but I'm still using XP. It's just fine for my purposes and still functions solidly.

DX12? We'll be on Windows 10 by then.

Your butthurtedness is blinding you to how little need there is for new tech with DX11 right now.

That's the joke. 11.1 has almost nothing, but it's worth pointing out it's somehow "only for W8."

So maybe they'll keep up the 'success fail success' pattern, and Windows 9 will be amazing?

Also, I'm not surprised at the lower adoption rate. PC sales are down, most don't buy a new OS for an existing PC, and businesses don't want to have to train for Windows 8. The fact that they didn't see this coming a mile away speaks volumes about how well-managed Microsoft is.
