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

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.

Virtual Machines...they are like...inception...windows within windows

You should run a Windows 8 VM inside of a Win95 VM inside of a Win7 VM

But I'm on my XP right now.

Dawss Bawx.

Windows 98 era is actually pretty hard to get compatible. COME BACK BATTLEZONE I NEED YOU.

contrary to jcap's rants about how terrible windows 8 is


i put it on a laptop and a desktop of mine to play about with because the license keys were dirt cheap

wasn't disappointed at all.. from a work standpoint - cloud apps, citrix receiver, teamviewer, calendar syncing, mail accounts & remote desktop all work perfectly fine with a faster load time.. so for remote work when you're travelling it's actually pretty good. especially with the live tiles making it so much quicker to navigate.. in terms of policy settings and security it's all been smooth and i haven't ran into issues there either. i am aware that this is a particular target audience which doesn't suit everybody, but still, i've had a far more socially connected experience using accounts to sync up music and photos with the apps available, so.. I guess each to their own, you might find it's better to stick to 7 especially with the infamous compatibility issues. That's why I have dual booting in case I actually do run into that problem... but


dafuq is wrong with your tits jcap? CALM THEM

I doubt it, jcap knows better than to take the bait troolololololololloololololol


but heh, he's got completely legitimate reason to be pointing out those issues, not really sure exactly who jcap represents as a target audience, but they are quite clearly forced to take unnecessary steps to carry on productivity in the os.. I just thought it was hilarious how large the post was though. Not really worth getting that worked up when you can just say "no" to using it

It does suit a phone far better though, I fucking love my lumia.

suddenly everyone has an enormous amount of green bars, good job guys rossmum would probably be given [terrible illness] by it heh
