LoL wow you people talk about Windows 8 and IE 10...and I am still on Windows XP and IE 6 lmao xD!!
The thing is I just don't like Windows OS to have so rich interface.It sometimes makes my eyes and HEAD hurt lol.Yep I usually have headaches very often lol.I was born with it xD
I guess I am just one of those who prefer the type of the interface which Windows 95 and 98 had.On my main XP computer I also use fully classic style of Windows 98 for everything starting from the icons and then all the way to the taskbar,windows and colors...etc...
To me it is a lot easier to use OS when it has standard normal look like Windows 95 and 98 had without too much colors at all and especially without any extra effects which sometimes just confuse you and take forever to go away in order to just open something you want to open lol.
This new interface is great for people to who ONLY those things are important,but for me that is LEAST important thing.It always was and always will be.To me it's important that my system works,does it's job properly and that the programs I am making on it work on all Windows even on those with super beautiful interface without changing the interface of my programs lol...
By the way why everyone says that Windows 8 is fundamentally messed up as Vista?To me Vista was very good new generation OS and it was not messed up at all and it was also not memory hungry OS if you know to to make things work right.All you had to do is to simply take all the unused memory from all the running things and load it to your currently active application(s) and VIOLA!Vista works fast just like XP!As for the CPU,Vista runs just great on very old and weak 1 core CPUs too.All you had to do is to make a small software that will use appropriate priorities for the currently active application(s) and in the same time measure the CPU usage so that the priority level changes depending on the CPU usage level so that the system never blocks and VIOLA AGAIN!Vista again works fast just like XP!
I don't know why to so many people Vista lags on so strong systems they have when on mine it worked great on just 512 MB RAM and 1.4 GHZ 1 core CPU after I made few optimizations.Hell I was even able to force the aero and show that too.So if someone tells me that Vista needs 2 GB to run,no offence to anyone,but that's just bullsh!t lol.If Vista OS lags to so many people who have strong systems then they obviously do not know how to use computers properly lol.
Don't complain so much on Windows 8 lol.It's not so easy to make new things all the time and have new ideas to make new things all the time.Sometimes Microsoft makes so much stuff and runs of of the ideas what to make next so you cannot expect every newer OS to be better and better.Microsoft lives from operating systems and they are forced to make new things even when they do not have any ideas what to make next.For the past MANY years they have made so much great stuff so maybe now they might need some time to invent something new.And until that in the meantime they are trying their best to make at LEAST someting new to satisfy users and earn money until they get to the new idea to make something great AGAIN =)
Besides if Windows Vista and Windows 8 sucks to so many people then you go ahead and make something lol.Believe me you will give up in the matter of minutes because this is NOT an easy task AT ALL
