article published on 13 September, 2011
Microsoft just showed off an early development build of Windows 8 at the Windows BUILD keynote.
Steve Sinofsky took to the stage to boast some stats on the success of Windows 7, but that's not what we wanted to hear/see (we'll talk about that later.) What we wanted to see is how is Microsoft going to revamp Windows so much to justify the comparisons to the changes made when Windows 95 ... [ read the full article ]

Still don't like the design, using less resources or no. This may have to grow on a lot of people, but I give MS this, they actually seem to be trying to make their OS better for a change. There's more bold changes coming in this OS since MS moved from 3.11 to 95.

Ye I think the Metro UI is something a lot of people won't really use a lot if using a PC or notebook, but its simple tap of Windows key to change between Metro UI and more traditional Windows Desktop UI.

I do phone tech support. I cannot imagine trying to help some novice that has this UI installed. It will be a nightmare.

Windows 8 will probably be a Windows ME version of 7. Windows 9 will be the fix, while 10 prepares for beta testing. lol

There's people who don't have 3 yet. My opinion is that they should drop support for x86 processors. This will hopefully make the OS cheaper and it'll prevent people with low end processors upgrading and having their systems run slow. Apple did a good thing by dropping x86 support.

Because there's no "Quote Multiple" like most of the other forums out there.

Not their OS and it doesn't cost an arm and leg even if they do.

Yeah........and MACs remain as unchanged, plain-jane and boring as Hell..................just like Apple's mindless, twit, unthinking, conformist users waiting to be taken to their alien creators in the sky.

Meesa sorry.
BUT...........gotta admit. That new donut shaped Apple HQ would make the perfect spaceship after collecting all the MAC-heads and bringing them to their alien master right??? :)

When I hit the power button, it's gonna load Mac. Not some Gay A$$ error that nobody knows the meaning to.
Don't get me wrong, I'll never support Apple straight (Bought on Ebay and fixed) but when I need a laptop every day, I'm gonna get a Mac.

I guess you only use your computer for gaming. I have 12GB and I still get out of RAM sometimes.

Yeah, you actually don't need much for gaming, other than showing off how many simultaneous instances of whatever you can do. It's all about CPU's coupled with moderate RAM and awesome GPU's for gaming. But when you have several image editors open, some music playing, a couple of browsers with dozens of tabs of related content rolling, FTP's and their related HTML/CSS editors chugging, and that game you play for a four minute break, along with IRC clients, instant messengers, anti-virus, and what else have you then RAM disappears alarmingly quick (especially if that break-game is Minecraft lol).
Little pointless rant aside, I don't think I like the Metro UI at all. I'm glad to see M$ finally at least trying to reduce their needed resources when coming out with something new, and I'm sure it will be fine enough after 7. I just hope they keep in mind that people do have multiple OS's in a household and make the thing network properly out of the box so I don't have to go mucking about in the registry like I've had to do with every single 7 PC I've tried making work with XP for customers.
