And here I am thinking Vista is faster on the shop computer - single core 2.8 GHz CPU, 4 GB DDR RAM - then Windows 7 is on my machine - dual core CPU, 2.7 GHz, 4 GB DDR2 RAM.... Windows 8 may be good under the hood. Still will not catch me using it as my main OS or anywhere in my house. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]
[quote who="starkers" reply="4" id="3493099"] So when be ye g'wen ta stop bitchin' 'bout Win 8? [/quote] Probably when Windows 8 is a thing of the past. I actually agree with Jafo and his points on Windows 8. As for advancements under the hood, they came with a price. The need for a bigger processor and more RAM.
You don't get it Starkers. It's not experts telling people Windows 8 sucks. It's neighbors telling neighbors or random everyday people telling that person at the big box store to avoid Windows 8. I'm no expert, but I tell people to use 7.
I wasn't talking about experts who say 8 is bad. I'm talking about normal everyday people who try it and pass the word along that 8 sucks. Why do you think there was such a big push to bring back the Start menu?
Starkers when the majority of the computing world says Windows 8 sucks who are you gonna believe?
Not gonna happen. They will say it's much better than the failure of an OS that Windows 8 is, but it's not as good as Windows 7.
I understand Doc, I'm simply not interested in clicking on links and reading long articles that are not very interesting to me. It's my fault. :/
Sorry - I don't click on links given very often.
And what about Firefox?
No. If Windows 9 brings back the traditional Start menu with the Windows 8 kernel and enhancements under the hood all will be well. The user should be able to disable Metro once and for good.
I've seen Windows computers that are skinned and hacked so well that you can't tell they are a Windows box. It takes a lot of work, and more than just skinning apps.
[quote who="bluedxca93" reply="47" id="3490628"] I doubt that windows could look like mac. mac has inside the top panel a menu. On linux that is possible with 95% of all common linux application. [/quote] Yes, it can. It has been done. Many times. And you would never know the system was a Windows box.
[quote who="the_Monk" reply="35" id="3490487"] Correct me if I'm wrong please, but haven't you been a proponent of all things Linux and (as far as phones go) droid over windows whenever you get the chance? I would think 'emulating windows' would be exactly up your alley no?[/quote] Sure, I like to root for the little guy. I root for Linux and Android when I can, but here's something you probably did not know. I could never use Linux as my main OS, and in all o
[quote who="bluedxca93" reply="24" id="3488995"] 7) wine integration into the system: https://www.winehq.org ( yes the windows emulator schould also be integrated to win7 with a patch ( really necessary) !!!) [/quote] Why would you want to run a Windows emulator when you have the real thing?
But Macs use Intel CPUs... [e digicons]:maybe:[/e]
Lighter on resources than Windows 7.
I don't have any of those installed and no updates are available for my system. That a good or bad thing?
Don't worry. Quantum computing, isolinear chips, and optical data interfaces are just around the corner.
Yes, they made one finally... http://www.cnet.com/news/intel-takes-wraps-off-core-m-processor-that-can-enable-pcs-without-fans/

This made the news yesterday. Just sayin.. [e digicons]:-"[/e]
3 interesting things about Windows 9... I will complain for a few months about how horrible it is. I will say Windows 7 is better. I will eventually buy a computer with Windows 9 and then say it's the best thing since sliced bread. [e digicons]O:)[/e] [e digicons]^_^[/e]
[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="37" id="3482324"] Stardock should thank Microsoft for contorting their OS UI into something so unpalatable that it creates a market for Stardock to exploit with a fix.[/quote] Some of us prefer the default look of Windows. [e digicons]:-"[/e]
In a perfect world Apple would still exist. They had a hand in bringing about modern computing and cell phone design. I don't understand your dislike of Google and Apple. Without both of them the world and the internet would be different for the worse. [e classic]:-|[/e]
Well Apple is still making money hand over fist, so there is a market for their products.
I highly doubt Apple will go out of business anytime soon. They have a good following of people and a company that makes a lot of money. I would venture to say Apple will be around to see the eventual fall or merging of Microsoft.
