Windows 8 Release

[shovenose]

Good plan. I agree they have to make a product that will wow people, and get them away from the Apple store

after 100 years they mighht called
100 microft Os it sounds like wtf

[shovenose]

Not really. It seems that every other MS Windows it sucks.

Xp: good
Vista: not so good
7: very good

And that pattern goes back pretty far

Wow, that's true, I've never thought about that. I hope Windows 8 will break 'the chain' and be awesome, but I'm first gonna let my friends buy it and if I like it I'll buy a copy myself.

Agreed. I hope they do a good job.

Anyone wanna try out the Windows 8 developer preview edition?

Based on the screenshots of the current pre-release versions, that's what I think

Not really. It seems that every other MS Windows it sucks.

Xp: good
Vista: not so good
7: very good

And that pattern goes back pretty far

I think it's more like:
XP: excellent
Vistrash: horrible
7: horrible

so maybe they're due to release something good again.

[shovenose]

Well that's where I disagree with you

XP: It was good 9 years ago. Let's move on
Vista: should have called it Windows 7 Beta.
7: Best Microsoft OS to date...

I'm going to try out Windows 8 preview edition in VirtualBox in 5 hours.

[shovenose]
