Yeah, the good old days of Win 95 with no support for USB. :(
Can you actually say you like the look of Win 95 better than Win 7?

USB support was an easy problem to solve.Just put the right drivers on the right location and problem solved.Sure there would be BSODs here and there,but hey...that's the beauty of Windows :D

And yes.Believe it or not,I DO LIKE THE LOOK OF WINDOWS 95 MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE THAN ANY OTHER WINDOWS INCLUDING WINDOWS XP,WINDOWS VISTA AND WINDOWS 7.
Maybe that is hard for anyone to believe me,but I am telling you the truth lol.To me that kind of look is so damn great lol.It's so clean,not killing my eyes,easy to read,tidy and what not :)
Why else do you think I am using that old Windows look in Windows XP lol?
Because I just love it.Most of the people hate it,but I wouldn't change it no matter what!:D

You know...many people ask me:"How the hell can you stand that look?!It's so awful and old and ugly!"
And I tell them:"It doesn't matter how windows,buttons and the rest of the controls look like.It matters what magic is behind them."





Cheers!

If I get nostalgic for Win 95, I have it installed in a VM on this machine and can fire it up anytime I want but I don't get the urge that often.

Everybody knows that grey boxes and teal green wallpapers are sexier than transparent boxes with rounded edges and beautiful hi-res wallpapers of animals, buildings, etc etc. ;) It's a known fact!

No I'm joking of course. I look back at Windows 9.x now and think it's hideous but I'm sure in 15 years time I'll be looking back on Vista and 7 and thinking they're hideous too. By that time I'll be thinking "oh my god - Windows 95 looked like Frankenstein's Creation!"

The Windows 8 Graphic User Interface is something I do not like. Why reinvent the wheel? If something is working why go back to square one?

The blatant advertising in this operating system is something I also find to be annoying.

Windows 8 will be one operating system I will skip. Many businesses aren't going to be interested in it either.

I'm going to see what the Release Candidate has to offer when it comes out (because this 'Consumer Preview' is more like a beta isn't it?) and if things haven't improved then I likely will be skipping Windows 8 too and sticking with 7 for a while. The businesses won't be interested in it for the same reasons as they weren't interested in Vista, and also the fact that Windows 8 is aimed more towards tablets than desktops. Hopefully Microsoft will learn their lesson and Windows 9 will be more like Windows 7 again.

I was just wondering when will Microsoft start giving the NAMES to their future operating systems again.For example Windows 5 was XP,Windows 6 was Vista and now all they give is Windows 7 then Windows 8 lol.
It would be cool if they start giving them names again :p

At the beginning it was also like that.The first was Windows 1.0 then Windows 2.0 and so on...

It's like we are going back to 1985. lol.

I'm wondering the same. I believe Microsoft called Windows 7 "Windows 7" because the whole idea of Windows 7 is that it is meant to be all nice and simple so Microsoft probably wanted to use a nice and simple. Anybody with a retail copy (likely not OEM) of Windows 7 on hand will know that the user guide has "your PC, simplified" written all over it. I always thought Windows 8 was an imaginative name though. ;) No I'm joking again, but it would be nice if the successor to Windows 7 wasn't called 'Windows 8', it's a bit predictable really isn't it?

I agree with all the complaints mentioned in the article especially the annoying way of shutting down Windows 8. When I first tired the Dev it took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to shut Windows down. I forgot to mention this earlier.

Not surprised that half of those who have tried Windows 8 would not recommend it, including myself. I think Microsoft have bitten off more than they can chew here...

See what I am saying?:D

Nah lol I am just kidding.Besides I don't care about the disk defragmenter picture because I ALWAYS defragment in SAFE MODE WITH COMMAND PROMPT.

This might sound shocking to you all,but to me...EVERY SINGLE WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM is good.:)
Why?
Well because it is possible to do almost anything on any of them if you know how.Knowledge is the ONLY limit.:D




Cheers!
