Rather than trying to force desktop users into using an OS designed for tablets, they should have created it as a new OS for tablets and named it Windowpane, or maybe WindowPain... :)
They should have left the desktop interface of Windows 7 alone, or tweaked it into something a bit cooler, but changing it to a touch screen orientated UI which can only run one window at a time in the foreground is not much better than old DOS applications.
A startpage.com inquiry 'does anyone like windows 8' returned 59M+ results.
8 many prove a bigger dog than Vista or ME.
Vista wasn't half bad once they worked out the bugs. Windows ME has ALWAYS sucked, it was probably the worst OS they've ever released, till Windows 8.
Windows 8 will most likely be THE biggest flop they've ever had.
I keep awaiting this olde XP box's death so I can fire up my now two year old i27 machine.
Do you mean i7? You can still get Windows 7 online, load that baby up.
Hell, I might croak before this pc does.
My old ones are still kicking too, but I've put them away in boxes or they're just hanging around collecting dust. If you have an I7 I'd put that sucker to use.
No, I should have said the Apple iMac27 souptidoo computer that's resting in a guest room.
Oh. Never really kept up with what Macs are available these days. Thought you meant you had an Intel Core i7, which has four cores, yet execute as eight cores due to HyperThreading.
I'm sure it does. It'd probably look even slicker if you plugged it in.. :)
I just looked up the IMac27 and it does come with an Intel i7 or i5, has a nice huge 1TB disk and a standard 8 GB of memory, which can be upgraded to 16 or 32 GB, really nice huge 27 inch monitor, and bunch of other cool stuff.
It'd probably look even slicker if you plugged it in.
I don't know if you saw the thread about a year, or so, ago; when christine posted a thread Guess Which Member's Office This Is - the office from hell was mine.
It's a bit better now, but not so much anyone would really notice. ;-(
BTW, I did plug it in, and yes, my beloved Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard and the Evoluent Vertical mouse appear to be fully functional/compatible with it.
