don't worry everybody does but some geeks or hipsters or people who needs something windows can offer aswellAlso I just wanna point out I never said I don't like Linux or Mac it's just that I prefer Windows
Windows can offer alternatives to linux stuff, but linux systems implement them a lot better.don't worry everybody does but some geeks or hipsters or people who needs something windows can offer aswell
Also I have used Linux and Mac, just not on my pc, and I still love Windows
I used the Mac for about 2 months but the Linux only for about 1 weekHow long have you used those two desktops? If you've used them for less than 15 days then you haven't truly *experienced* Linux or Mac.
Windows 2000 was as innovative as Server 2012 now. People hated Windows 2000 back in 2000 in the same way they hated Windows 7 in 2007 (and then got used to it).The latest release of Windows that I thought was alright was Windows 2000.
80% of enterprizes and 90% of residential users think the other way.because I don't like XP.
Another lame reason. The first googling attempt will describe the way how to set it up. My quick launch on Win 7 Pro:On Windows 7, the quick launch bar is replaced with program "pinning." I can't stand this feature.
Why? Because you don't have to insert CD anymore to install additional features - all features are stored in \Windows folder. Now you don't have to copy i386 back and forth.Windows 7 also eats so much disk space, it's rediculous.
Bullshit. There is "postpone" button which will allow you to install all updates and only then reboot your PC.Installing updates is also a nightmare. You have to install updates, reboot, install updates, reboot.... and keep repeating this process who knows how many times because Windows can't install all it's updates at once.
Bullshit. Server 2012 does not have Metro style. Windows 8 is initially tablet/touchscreen OS so Metro style is convenient and useful.This is a phrase the perfectly describes Windows 8's and Windows Server 2012's multiple personality metro/desktop design that is suppose to work for every use case senario.
No shit. Should I look for numbers to show you what OSs have the highest volumes of pirated versions?Then, on top of all this, there's the fact the Microsoft refers to all of their customers as "software counterfeiters" if they don't prove that their copy of Windows was purchased legitimately every time they make a hardware change.
Well, if you can't see how XP and 7 were good - there is really nothing to talk about. Go read the numbers and see how many people were/are using XP/7.I really can't see how any version of Windows since Windows 2000 could be considered any good.
Matter of personal preference. You can set up the original desktop to be presented on logon, not Metro UI - and you will have the original Windows 7 Desktop experience.Metro UI is the largest bullshit ever.
You don't even have to click on "Postpone" - just leave this popup hanging and it won't automatically bounce your PC.and yes you can postpone updates, but it's such an annoying task that I bet a lot of people simply don't do it.
Yeah, with the old dock removed:Matter of personal preference. You can set up the original desktop to be presented on logon, not Metro UI - and you will have the original Windows 7 Desktop experience.

Good to hear, they are bringing it back then because everyone hates the new interface.>paying for a start menu when the start screen is perfectly fine
Apparently they are bringing it back in 8.2
Sarcastic pretty much addressed your comment. And there were tons of free small programs from third-party vendors that make Start button possible. Example: Classic Shell.Yeah, with the old dock removed:
You still have to use the new interface to search for files, adjust settings, etc. And it's garbage.
Buying Start8 and that other product was the best $10 I spent in a long, long time.
So instead of being able to natively use the classic interface, you still have to download programs and create scripts in order to get it to behave like Win7's interface.Sarcastic pretty much addressed your comment.

Moreover, you can permanently disable Metro UI if you hate it so much.
MS was trying to push new concept through - can't blame them for that. Some people did like Metro UI and got accustomed to it. Some people like you did not like it - so for those people MS is bringing old desktop experience back. Everybody's happy :DSo instead of being able to natively use the classic interface, you still have to download programs and create scripts in order to get it to behave like Win7's interface.
I don't mind paying $5 for a quality program. If I had downloaded one of the free alternatives, I still would have donated $5.
I stuck with Win8 because it was less of a hassle for me than wiping and doing a fresh install of Win7.So who's dumb enough to actually buy their shit for Windows 8 instead of just rolling back to Windows 7?
As much as I would recommend gamers to stick to Windows just for gaming, why would you pay to use Windows 8 and not get used to something new? This mentality exists not only for users of Windows 7 to Windows 8, but also to users of Windows to Linux, going to Gnome 3 and Unity (Ubuntu). Learn something new dammit!
So far Unity and Gnome 3 work perfectly on a desktop, the ONLY thing I would agree on would be that Windows 8 has a touchscreen interface, but it sucks as a desktop, MS pretty much made a pretty good touch OS, but not the best desktop.
Fight the urge to using the classic interface, use Unity or Gnome 3.
Yeah I'm psyched for it. They should've done that from the beginning, though. Like Ubuntu did with the new Unity interface.MS was trying to push new concept through - can't blame them for that. Some people did like Metro UI and got accustomed to it. Some people like you did not like it - so for those people MS is bringing old desktop experience back. Everybody's happy :D
GNOME2 was good. I'm not against learning new things, but don't fix what isn't broken.
Desktop UI as a whole doesn't need to be redesigned. I don't understand why people keep on trying to reinvent the desktop.
There is nothing wrong with the traditional desktop, and there isn't much to improve.
Actually, a CLI > desktop. says me.Goddammit hippie, you just can't see how much better the newer desktop is. MS didn't reinvent shit though, all they did was bring their Xbax UI and slap it on top of the traditional desktop.
The traditional desktop *was* good, now it's outdated and you really haven't given Unity or Gnome 3 a chance (15-30 days) as far as I can tell. Tolerate the amount of time it takes and you'll get used to it, it seriously works so much more efficiently once you get the hang of them.
hippie stuff
