windows 8 developer preview build released

[Nash B.]

I'm starting to wonder if we are about to see the steady decline and crash of Microsuck over the next few years. They just seem to be ever so steadily losing sight of what the market wants.

Really? Did you miss Windows 7? What exactly does the market want?

I don't know how the hell you run such an old OS. W7 is lightyears better.

It isn't THAT bad, but it is pretty shitty compared to Windows 7.

It's easy when your computers are 4 and 9 years old.

Nope...I have 64 bit 7 installed on my desktop and also on my Macbook Pro with Boot Camp. Its ok. I think for starters...people want an OS thats fast, secure, and easy to use. I thought XP was fantastic for ease of use. Vista complicated things and slowed everything down due to hogging of resources. Win 7 slimmed down a bit and did speed things back up a bit..but has only been on the market now for what...2 years? NOW...that people are getting used to it Microsoft has decided to introduce yet ANOTHER OS that looks and feels totally different, and to work right apparently will have to buy new hardware? Sounds like a bad idea to me.

Its nothing but windows phone 7 on something besides a phone. Don't expect it to be the new windows OS for PC's cause that it aint.

New windows looks like crap, new Linux DEs are crap... Looks like i'm going back to pen and paper.
