Here we go again - Windows 8
-
Just ignore it... According to the odd-even rule, Windows 8 will be a bloated, unstable piece of garbage... Windows 9 might be good.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Oh - you mean the rule that states that all odd and even releases will be bloated, unstable pieces of garbage?

Yeah, Nemesis was supposed to be good, and it was mediocre... The reboot was supposed to be horrible, but it was actually really good. So I think Nemesis reversed the polarity by rerouting phaser control through the main deflector, or sending a tachyon pulse through-- LeVar Burton is so much better at this...

Just released - Weven. Something doesn't fit here. When will Wodd be released?
No, Wen comes after Wine, which is a good way to lose Weight.

CNN article about Windows 8[^] Guess it's once again time to start with the Valium.
Wait, using MS's consistent naming scheme, shouldn't the next version be named one of the following? Windows 8.5 Windows 2013 Windows TNG 3.11 Windows YOU Windows NT 7.0 Windows Vista 3 In other words, ANYTHING but "Windows 8."
He said, "Boy I'm just old and lonely, But thank you for your concern, Here's wishing you a Happy New Year." I wished him one back in return.

Wow - what a pointless article regurgitating mindless nothings, ending on a highlight of "let's make fun of Vista". In other words, they don't actually know anything, but just wanted a headline that had Windows 8 in it.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Going by the fact that the chinese are obsessed with the number 8, i think there will be massive uptake by them. Ok, they might all be pirated copies, but they will jump at the chance to install it.

Gets my five to counter the inevitable backlash from the MS fanboise!
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

Thanks. Fact is, I sorta like Windows - prolly due to familiarity. I've been playing with a Mac lately and have been struggling. Some things are nice, others are infuriating (for me). I mean, come on, no delete key? I'm having trouble getting over that one.

So do I. But I have trouble with the MS attitude, which seems to be "We got your money, now sod off". I just wish they would listen to the people who use it, and who develop for it rather than the people who say "lets make it look flashier" and concentrate on fixing problems rather than developing new ones for a change. Unfortunately, there seems to be a group for whom MS can do no wrong, and any criticism seems to get met with anonymous down votes rather than discussion. Bit like the Apple fanboise in that way.

Yeah - only problem is that seems to be contagious. And when Apple gets your money, they get a lot more for something that is only arguably better. Sure, Apple stuff is pretty slick, but overpriced - because they can.
