Sounds about the right timeframe, so i'd say even if it isnt a legit advert its about the right date. windows 7 they finally realised what people want from an OS (limited impact) if they can keep that up for windows 8 i'll be happy enough to purchase it.
Ah man. In roughly 2 years, Microsoft will release their next OS... Just got Win 7 on a laptop that I bought. I'm not impressed with the hardware requirements, I hope they work on that in the future and as Sifex wrote, 96% (perhaps not the real number, but leave it there) don't really give a shit about Aero.
I think I'm sticking to my lovely Linux distro's for a while.
Yeah that's what I said but Windows 98 was actually pretty good compared to 95 but the order starts from Windows 2000Originally Posted by Mr.Lucifer
That pattern has a really obvious driving principle behind it. It's not just "every other release sucks."
That can be seen by realizing that vista and 7 are basically the same OS. What happened is that they fixed the shit in vista people hated, released it FREE TO USE for a year, and let people test 7, giving people a full year to port drivers, software to it, and get used to it. During that period, they did shitloads of bugfixes, they took advice and what people liked and disliked into consideration for the RTM. THATS what turned vista into 7.
If they don't release a half-baked operating system in windows 8, they'll be fine. If it's going to come out in 2012, it's most likely not going to be good. It'll need to be at least 2014. There are some areas they really need to work on, and one of those is completely revamping explorer.exe. It's better in 7 than in XP but its still shit. There are plenty of things to improve, and if they improved them all and added further optimizations and improvements to the kernel, it could be awesome.
One thing I'd really like to see added are the equivalent of 'tmpfs' mounts in linux. Basically you take a chunk of your memory and the system treats it like a local directory, files written to and read from it are actually stored in memory.
Shoulda named it "Windows 7.1". Windows8 sounds gay. Info about it sounds good.
i'm not totaly agree with u
Windows 98 - good
Windows 98 Sec - Good
Windows 2000 - Good
Windows ME - shit
Windows XP - good
Vista - Shit
Vista Sp2 - Fine. but not 100% good
Windows 7 - good
Windows 8 - see the pattern?
I say we all write down on two cups
Good & Shit
Then we let Paul the octopus choose.
Windows 8 will not be shit, probably going to be one of the best operating systems we have ever seen.
well atleast its not like mac with there 2 hours updates... no point for paying each one if they come out each week but as for windows it might be useful
I'm thinking of that too because I think they want to outrule XP and make everyone turn to Windows 8 hence then XP would be history when Windows 8 is out
the great and legendary cionide has gave his opinion to us.
windows 8 its cool
if u want it tell me i give u links to download by PM ;D

that's windows 7 lol
Ima have to go with linux mint because it looks more cleaner and more satisfying to use.
