hell, i've called FAUX NEWS the Comedy Channel for years

And with that Murdoch bastard running/owning it you can never be sure WTF is true.  For mine he's a degenerate bare-faced liar whose only rival in evil is Beelzebub himself.

It's foolish to trust ANY network to tell you the whole story.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.

Realistically there is very little that has an appeal to the average user in Windows 8 compared to Windows 7. The only major "improvement" from the end user point of view is the new GUI.

 

As the majority of end users - correctly - think it is shitty, there is hardly any reason to waste money on Windows 8.

 

Even if the economy would be going good, sales would be disappointing. A bad economy merely means that you will sell even less than in a good one, especially if your product is shitty.

 

Last but not least, I will say it again. Touch on a desktop with screen sizes being in excess of 27 inch nowadays makes as much sense as a refrigerator in Antarctic. People are understandable in no mood to polish their monitors every other day.

 

 

Well, to be fair Fox Networks isnt that far away from noth korean truth speaking.

 

 

 

I dont think it will die anytime soon, however a considerable loss of market share is likely to happen.

 

Which for every customer, can only be a good thing.

 

Merciless market pressure tends to end customer hostile business practises quite quickly. And Microsoft has a lots of those. Nothing wrong with them now paying the price.

You could also say "Users that already have Windows7" 
The XP user or the vista user that took the advantage to buy win8 (good solid OS) for 50bucks or some even 30 bucks are not complaining most of them are happy.
If i compare the current price and functions offered by Windows 7 ultimate  150€ + 
And now Windows8 Pro Systembuilder 110-120€ 
The appeal for me was to finally do things different couldn´t see the old startmenu anymore also i liked the idea of liveapps.
Also dual screen support was a point why i switched hated to cut my dual walls in half or get third party software to do it.
HyperV and Step record. But that’s not all the option to directly save a page as pdf without third party the list is long. 

Wincustomize is a site about skinning/changing the way an Os looks.

Win 8 Looks like Sh..

-Whether it´s Faster, more intuitive ot has more/better features I leave to sites such as Swe clockers and similar.

Personally I couldn´t give a...   since 7 works perfectly fine both GUI-wise as to regarding Performance.

So from the perspective of appearence/looks of course it´s an Epic fail..............unless you actually think 8 looks Good.

-Sure it´s all a matter of taste, but if you (god forbid) like the way 8 looks I dare to say that in this particular case you officially have BAD taste 

 

 

 

 

Windows 8 is like a moped. It might be fun to ride but you wouldn't want your friends to see you on it.

 I don't care if it runs like a racehorse if it looks like the south end of a northbound mule. It may be a worthy successor to Win 98 and XP in looks, and outperform Vista but it just isn't a Win 7 killer by any stretch of the imagination.(and no, it's not all about the looks, it's the general " this is where we are going, who cares what the consumer wants or needs....we don't" mindset at MS) and besides that, there just isn't enough value to make an upgrade from Win 7 Ultimate practical.

There was an unprecedented timeframe for consumers to try it out and the massive amount of negative remarks by most who DID "give it a fair shake" wasn't the bleeting of sheep, it was the market roaring.

In this end of the woods there's a term [to describe someone who is ugly] ...."head-butts trams for a hobby".

8 Probably should have gone the naming route like the other comparative mistakes.... Windows Bob...Windows ME .....Windows Vista....and now....it's Windows Camel.

Afterall...a camel is merely a horse....designed by a committee...

Here's a good review:

I watched that, Kona....it generally explains where MS lost it in an actual design/logic evolution and at the same time alienating a significant majority of its current user base.

Here's a better GUI ....

linux sucks. win8 for the win!

I don’t say that windows8 START is pretty but the rest is pretty much the same unless window frames transparency is missing, bigger window caption borders and the minimal buttons close max min + and Aero is not there. Oh and yeah in terms of skinning the missing start button LOL and Start menu even if this site is about skinning / face it without  windowblinds what would windows7 be ?...It’s up to Stardock to make that happen in 8...So you can’t compare it with the skinning ability’s that already exist in win7 you have to compare it without customizations and then the only thing missing is Aero everything else is the same only that you have a colorfull startmenu   ( i also ask myself sometimes-who thought of that?  since that is actually the ugly part...but you’re not supposed to spend hours watching your startmenu so it’s not that bad )
I’m just a bit disappointed that you don’t understand that comments like that won’t make it any better you keep folks from testing it calling it a fail like Millennium or Vista or a Camel + the Video you posted there, all of that just shows me that you absolutely have no clue what you are talking about sorry and I can´t take you serious.

In the future I will try to avoid topics like this since every comment here only pushes the stupidity in them and keeps folks from actually testing a perfectly fine OS.

Windows: It's over

What are we going to do now? It is the end of the world as we know it.

Wrong!  Windows 8 is faster and more study/reliable.  Moreover, there are improvements in file management, the taskmanager... native handling of ISO files.  There are others, but you can google those.[

Again, wrong!  I do not have a touch screen and I use Win 8 the same way as I did Win 7... with keyboard and mouse.  What's more, I lose nothing using Win 8 this way on a desktop.  Touch may be useful on a tablet or phone, but I don't think many would [want to] use it on a desktop PC... arm ache.

And you may say that people "correctly" think Win 8 is shitty, but really, judging a truly solid OS solely on its appearance is truly moronic.  Win 8 is far more secure and stable under the hood than Win 7 ever was/is.  In the 10 months since I began using the beta versions I've not had one single crash, BSOD or freeze-up, etc, in Win 8.  I cannot say the same about Win 7 or any previous Windows version.

Speaking of regularly scheduled programming, Channel 7 here in OZ interrupted regular programming for 10 minutes to announce that a racehorse had been retired.  Okay, so it won a few races, big deal.  We've had far greater contributors to Australia retire [human ones, that is] with far less fanfare, pomp and circumstance than that.  It's just a fckn horse for fck sake.
