Who's upgrading to Windows 8?

[QUOTE="GummiRaccoon"]

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] I meant that by not adding too much other software...FelipeInside

Yeah exactly. M$ wants no other software from other venders.

So allowing alternative browsers in the metro mode but not in the traditional mode will cut down on bloat?

I really don't understand your reasoning. Microsoft's move here is all about control

Nothing microsoft does respects freedom. They need to be broken up.

"The chips have new requirements for security and power management, and Microsoft is the only one who can meet those needs.

FelipeInside

And?

ARM devices need to run perfectly cause they are used in important situations, so I don't see the problem with MS being tight with security and stability for browsers.

They might allow it later on but it's not like MS have said FIREFOX WILL NOT RUN IN WINDOWS 8.

Why do ARM devices need to reun perfectly aa opposed to everything else? Important situations? The part that got me is "Microsoft is the only one who can meet those needs." which made me go "What?"

XP isn't going to be supported for ever. You're going to have to get Windows 8 or 9 at some point..

And of course you say that after trying Windows Phone for a long period of time, analyzing each section and comparing it to Android?

Windows on desktop is all about freedom to do what you want, windows phone 7 is the polar opposite. It is just a poor mans iphone and it will NEVER be successful this way because whoever wants a unified and streamlined but albiet a restricted OS will go for iphone and why wouldnt they? Iphone apps are miles ahead and so is the hardware. WP7 is still stuck on single core phones with VGA resolution screen and 720p video recording. And not to mention I have never seen a 32GB windows phone they are all stuck at 16GB for whatever reason lol.

A person like yourself, using an ANDROID phone and accusing another phone of copying iPhone? Hahahahahahahahah. When the Android is nearly a replica of the iPhone OS?

First, your opinion is invalid since you have never used a Windows Phone.

Second, without using a Windows Phone you have called it trash....so basically it's like saying I hate eating Apples but I've never tried one, so ur opinion is even MORE invalid.

Third, if you think Windows Phone is copying iPhone, then please stop talking cause you are making a fool of yourself. WP does the complete opposite of both iPhone and Android and introduces a brand new way of OS, which in most sections does better than both. I've used extensively both iPhones and Androids, and then I started using Windows Phone and never going back cause once you do, you can tell the rest live in the past.

As for WP7 behind in technology....oh please stop talking and research some facts.

I'm going to sleep now cause I maybe read ur post wrong, or I dreamt it...

OMFG, your post is so full of wrong I don't know where to being, or even try to.

I have used windows phone 7 but never owned one cuz I dont have to in order to know how bad it is. Android only copied the home screen visual style of the iphone not how you actually use the phone or any of the basic functionality.

This isnt a mobile forum and seems like you arent worth arguing anyways, good day!!

[QUOTE="GummiRaccoon"]

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] What do you mean? no company will do something only good for consumers that are bad for the company, WTF are you talking about? MS lately have brought out Win7, which is the next XP and fixed the mess which was Vista. They have brought out a new Mobile OS which does things better than iPhone and Android. It just needs the hype now. They offer one of the best cloud storage plans on the market, which autosyncs to Windows Phone. Even before this, old users get 25GB for free, 5 times more than any other free service. Their new OS (Win8) will auto cloud sync with Tablet, Desktop, Laptops and Mobile Phones. Is that what you meant?FelipeInside

lol ok

So do you have family that works at m$ or what?

Exactly, let's not derail the topic. And again, why does praising a company when they do something right makes you an employee? What a stupid thing to say.

But next time do some research before saying something is trash when you have never actually THOROUGHLY tested it, each function and compared it.

Android is a copy of iPhone in most places, WP7 is completely different, and that's a fact.

Android is a copy of iPhone in most places, WP7 is completely different, and that's a fact.

Android was developed to compete with blackberry, not iphone. Android was already being developed when the iphone came out. The only thing that the iphone had that android did not was a touch screen, this is why you see so many of the early android phones with a slide out keyboard.

iOS and WP7 were designed with a touch screen in mind, android was not. This is why iOS and WP7 feel more responsive, they have touches interrupt the process, which is why you can scroll to your hearts desire to interrupt anything from ever happening. In most cases even though it feels like iOS and WP7 load faster, they do not, and in most cases load slower, it's just on android you can't really do anything with the touch screen until everything is finished, which is where the multicores come in.

Like mounting remote storage as if it were a local drive? Doesn't get much more simple than that.

I'm actually considering going back to xp as my primary system. I have dual OSs in my setup but I use win7 mostly now. 7 is slow as **** on my system compared to xp. Could just be my specs but xp seem more reliabe as well.

Oh gawd....don't even mention vista......yes I've tried it. Yea I'll upgrade eventually, I'm hoping by summer since I've already delayed it by 5 months already (suppose to upgrade in January but waited for Ivy bridge)

7 isn't running like poo but compared to xp it runs like poo. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say there LOL. I'm on a q8400 with 4 gigs of ram and a gtx 460. Still on a socket 775 unfortunately. I'm just thinking that even with a new computer, xp will still run faster/better than 7.

thats what I've heard but the difference is night and day on my comp. My dads new i2500k computer (which i built for him LOL) with 4 gigs of ram runs pretty damn smooth and faster on 7 than my xp on my spec. Once I upgrade I'll find out first hand whether its xp or 7 but im sticking with dual OSs nonetheless.

something is wrong with your setup, 7 shouldn't be running poorly.

like i said, its not running poorly/crappy but compared to xp it's not as fast/smooth.

Yeah, windows 7 should be smoother with any sort of decent setup.

my pc is 100% stable and everything is working faster and more realiable then ever with Win7. All my games, programs and hardware run great, and switching to Windows 8 would add an extra chance of unknown failure between my older applications and games which do run in windows 7.

I've heard nothing good about it, and nothing that makes it sound like it would perform any faster then Windows 7.

I won't be switching to windows 8. I wish there was something good in Windows 8 to be excited about, but I don't see anything for me personally.

Still using Vista x64 with no problems...it runs great.... Also have a sealed copy of Win 7 still sitting in the closet with no need to use it till I decide to build a new system.
