It's bad that he still seems to think violent video games are a problem (implied).
Enjoy that study, Rockefeller; it will be a complete waste of time and money and prove no statistical evidence for or against the stimulating media, like all the other studies. (Actually that's a lie, it will prove books, movies and television shows are more at fault of -anything- than video games.)
@Ravenlore_basic Yup; lots of people (including me) were saying it was just SP3 for Vista.
I assume Microsoft didn't want to be associated with Vista anymore so they decided to release a new OS instead and drastically change a lot of the UI to make people think it was brand new.
In doing that, they alienated me. I am a diehard classic user and even with Classic Shell, there's still too many changes that reduce my workflow (speed and efficiency at using the OS), so I only run it in VM to do tests. (Family PCs all have 7 though and even after 2 years of maintaining them, I'm still lost when trying to do basic things easily available on Vista.)
I like that attitude, even if people think he's a hypocrite.
Windows 8 has a bigger backlash than Vista, and Vista was NOWHERE near as bad as people made it out to be. (I'd know, I've been using it since I upgraded to a DX10 system after its release) Windows 8 is a terrible OS for desktops. I doubt Microsoft will learn from this at all. I expect them to combine even more features into Windows 9 to work on even more devices.
For me, Vista is the last good semi-stock OS. 7 is manageable with a lot of UI modding to reverse the completely illogical and pointless decisions made from Vista to 7.
I still have to go back to Windows XP to run classic games properly with full hardware acceleration anyway. Sometimes ALchemy is more trouble than its worth. In that way, Windows XP was the last great OS.
