dfisk Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 So, just so I understand correctly...To see a real difference in Windows 8 you really need to be using a touchscreen device? Otherwise it is pretty similar to 7? And, from what I've read (which is limited), it is similar to the UI on the windows mobile devices? That's smart if it is. I was looking at the new Nokia windows phone, and while I don't think I'll switch to it, the interface was really slick, and I do know windows phone users who say the software on them is pretty solid. I'm not as savvy on my windos machine as I am with my mac, so I don't know if I'll install the trial version, but I am very interested in seeing what Microsoft is doing.

I have been a windows phone user since 2003. WIndows 7 phones are slick, more responsive then all the competition and the UI is designed very well. It is really smart to offer a windows 8 mobile Metro style UI and a classic Windows desktop. Users can choose. I have said before that if IPAD was OSX I was going to be the first fighting in line for it. I am not ready to use dumb devecies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I am watching the Asus Comutex keynote. Their tablet 600 has I7 processor inside, IPS+ monitor with wacom 10 point multi touch and stylus, Instan on 2 second. Unbelivble design. Go to 21:37 and then 27:31 for Asus TaiCHi on 30:00 you can see a dual screen laptop/tablet that has desktop mode on the side of the keyboard and Metro style on the other. Asus Tai-CHi.

OmahaAudio Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 One of my local TV stations just ran a short, "Microsoft is going to officially release Windows 8 in a few minutes" story and the screen animation shown while the guy was talking was a WIndows desktop.... and the program starting up was?

RadoStefanov Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 What a child. His biggest concern is that Steam will be rendered useless when XBOX Game store is implemented and and VALVE store will be dead... For 15 years I have been hearing that OEMs will stop using windows. What a BS... First of all Valve run on Windows only which made him a millionaire. Second of all there is no market for Linux systems for only one graphic engine. A lot of computer savvy people will have dual boots. Still small percentage. Third of all the graphic specs for windows 8 are insane. And finally: I will believe it when I see it. Software companies steer away from Linux because it does not pay at all "excluding enterprise" "Valve boss Gabe Newell calls Windows 8 a 'catastrophe'" http://www.bbc.com/n...nology-18996377 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 What steam/valve and EA/Origin did was just ridiculous. Microsoft will put an end to this madness. I dont see how it is different from the I-store or whatever the apple store is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrengun Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I think that Windows 7 is the best iteration of Windows in quite some time. I have an iMac running Mountain Lion but I also have a PC laptop for sound reports, travel, and downloading audio files at the end of the day. I was very pleasantly surprised with Windows 7 because I had abstained from Windows since XP. I installed Windows 8 and I must say I do not like it. I think that the homepage idea is pretty interesting but it lacks a certain flexibility and I'm resistant to the idea of having my PC and social media so intertwined. I also don't like that my login is linked to my XBOX Live account. And other than the kind of gimmicky redesign there aren't any substantial new features (although I feel the same way about Mountain Lion to some extent). Maybe my dislike is due to my lack of touchscreen. The iPad is a fantastic device but I often wish it was a bit more like a full featured computer. However, I would not encourage Apple to follow the path Microsoft has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
