What Windows 8 woes? It is stable. It works well in “grumpy developer mode”. It handles exceptions better than 7 or XP.
April......2015. Misleading title
Product critics are like pundits and movie critics.
They get paid to give opinions that are no better than yours or mine but they have a talent for being wrong.
Windows 7 is an excellent operating system.
Windows 8, Vista.
Seems like every other Microsoft OS is a failure.
Win 8 doesn’t let people play DVD’s???
say what?
” - - - Microsoft might be ready to abandon Windows 8 earlier than it planned in an attempt to reverse the slide in its fortunes. - - - “
It also might be a good idea to change the name of this standard of the Computer Industry to a more realistic Company name.
My suggestion for a new Company name is MICROMUSH.
It makes a small contribution to Society, and always with an abundance of jumbled errors and glitches: MICRO + MUSH, MICROMUSH.
as a joke some enterprising person should come up with a redesigned Linux OS named Windows 9
With Microsoft since ME ever other GUI os sucks
Window 8 sucks
Window 7 good
Windows Vista sucks
Window XP good
Window ME sucks
98 SE ok
98 ok
95 so so
probably just some crap a blogger is throwing out, but gives us a place to bash MS some more. lol
I mainly use my laptop for writing (technical) and research - I found the “traditional” drop-downs to be much quicker and easier - and it drives me nuts everytime I move an open window to the side and it takes up the whole damn screen -if I wanted it bigger I’d make it bigger, etc.
My laptop got hacked & a virius was implanted causing it to crash [usb ports & audio systems] & they got in from a windows 8 or 8.1 hole. I had to go back to windows 7 in order to fix it.
They need to do a basic rethinking of their OS, which should really move to a “tailored fit”, with ala carte add ons.
To start with, MS would make “ideal” basic platforms for major end uses, stripped of everything not essential to those particular uses.
But users could also design their own out of major compatible pieces, like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, leaving it up to MS to troubleshoot their basic designs to show them any problems or gaps in their design. Users would tell MS all about their current hardware and software.
Then in either case, users would be able to add functionality on a sliding scale from free to large packages. There would be a running tally so they could add up to their budget limit.
Then finally, once a functional design was reached and troubleshot, MS would download it to them as well as send them reinstall disks in the mail.
It is also the gift that keeps on giving, as MS would sell a maintenance package that would not only optimize and protect their install, but upgrade it as needed, especially when new hardware or software was added.
