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

I fucking LOVE my Windows 8 Phone

Same here, my 920 is byfar the best phone I've ever owned.

I own the HTC 8S and for 250 Euros you just cannot go wrong.

Not many quality apps but live-tiles...srsly..the best invention since sliced bread. I feel like my phone is a living thing, changing its design constantly so you'll never get bored of it and you get the information right on the main screen.

^ I'm actually waiting on the grey/yellow HTC 8S, because it looks so 90s...


Though Nokia is also rumoured to be working on a device that will mimic the ZuneHD in style and build, so that may be something to look out for.

Funny, but it has the XP on the end. ShittyXp. That's what I see, not ShittyW8. Still, they should sue microsoft for swearing at them and put the money towards assisted suicide for buying OEM Windows 8 to install.

I think he was more so going for 'shitty experience', as the install failed without detail after this screen, causing him to have to restart the install from scratch

After trying W8 for a week, it was a really shitty experience when it came to backwards compatibility. Other then that, it was meh. Maybe with a service pack comes out for it i'll give it another try, but until that W7 Supremacy.

It will probably be a long while before I upgrade to a newer version of Windows again. Backwards compatibility is already dodgy enough with Win7, and I'm too attached to my Windows 95 games.
