Maximum PC: Depending on where you look, Windows 8 is either off to a scorching fast start or it flopped out of the gate with little interest from consumers. There doesn't appear to be much middle ground. Obviously, Microsoft is promoting the former, claiming it sold 40 million Windows 8 licenses in the first month. Yet companies like Asus are saying that the demand for Windows is "not that good," while PC OEMs in general are refusing to take the blame for soft sales. What's the real story? To help answer that question, Puget Systems posted some interesting data and thoughts about its own Windows 8 versus Windows 7 sales figures.
Microsoft is laying off more employees, a new round after they cut thousands last year. It seems like many big tech companies are doing the same.
Amidst the AI frenzy of 2023, major players like Google, Microsoft, and Meta are in the spotlight, launching their own generative AI systems.
Microsoft has made it easy for iPhone users to check their mobile updates on Windows-enabled computers.
Windows 7 FTW
Windows 8 FTW
MS-DOS FTW
theres nothing wrong with windows 8
people just prefer 7 and what they have already.
Humans naturally dont like change but once they are pulling vista marketing and stuffing it down our throats we will see the big picture.
I think its funny all the hate windows 8 is getting because it has not got a start menu and a touch UI.
If you are a none touch user you will spend 99.9% of your time in the desktop mode so what is the issue? the only difference is you now have a start menu that you pin your applications to and then you can hit the start button or go to the bottom left hand corner and click to bring the new start menu up and then click your app to open it and it then opens your app and your back to the desktop mode.
If your a tablet use you use the market place to get all your apps like on a Ipad or Android tablet and when you click on the app on the new start menu it keeps you in the new ui and you use the new gestures to get through the apps the only thng you use the Old desktop for is Office and this is where you would have a mouse and keyboard on your tablet anyway.
Really people what is there to complain about. Windows 8 gives you a choice on how and what formate of device you want and a OS for everything.
No other laptop/tablet in the market can offer this. Windows 8 is faster, more flexible and runs on old hardware and connects to 99% of Printer, Hard drives, Modems, Phones, MP3 players, Domain networks and more.
Why have a laptop and a tablet when you can have it all in one?
