Maybe there's still hope for W9. Very Happy


..or maybe they'll make it even more tabletsocialnetwitter-friendly, ditching the classic style completely for the perfect colourful and fancy experience accessible to everyone because it's time to innovate and revolutionize!

Of course! It's not like Microsoft made the implementation of Windows 8 for system builders a major pain in the ass. And it really isn't a possibility now that the SB might lose money with the fucked up licensing system.

There's nothing for me on windows 8. I will not "upgrade" to Win 8 from win 7. In fact I hope Valve makes a linux os that can play all pc-games in the future so I can ditch MS once and for all. What I really can't understand is why MS has been sabotaging their own OS with Xbox exclusives, shoddy console ports and a less than convincing pc-gaming commitment. It all started with Halo back in the day. Several industry bigwhigs has said that games are the single most important driver when it comes to hardware sales and general computer upgrades. Makes me wonder why they're sabotaging their own profits.

If MS keep ignoring the PC-platform they will eventually loose their OS monopoly. That's when it's really gonna hurt their profits. Please, please, please Valve - deliver me from MS!

Actually,

Their Xbox live W8 thingy is a game hub (sort of) where you can manage your Xboxlive account, see you friends avatars and stuff, navigate the Xbox store and see your achievements on Xboxlive games you play on PC, Windows Phone and Xbox.

I didn't get to far in this thing for now.
I still mainly use my Win7 partition, just have a Win8 Pro partition (30€ deal) in case of bad things happen.
You never know with MS, they are awesome at bringing things that urge you to upgrade to their new OS'es.

I see some very nice improvements in Win8 but nothing they couldn't add to Win7, like the new task manager, nice new options on the screen capture tool (format, tool to highlight area on the fly, ...), Multi monitor desktop management (different wall paper on each screen, ability to have separate task bars, ...)...

But hell, I like the Metro UI on my Windows Phone, but I can't stand it on my PC.
