Windows 8

Here’s a fun fact:

If you go to Google’s main page in Internet Explorer, it asks you if you want to try Chrome.

If you go to Google’s main page in Firefox, the dialog box doesn’t show up.

A question to those who’ve installed it. Do you think it could be a viable and/or a great replacement for Windows 7? If so, why?

The beta isn’t even out yet, so really I couldn’t tell you.

I think Windows XP was great, and I don’t like how Microsoft is moving away from that. The whole window management and Aero and Metro to me just looks too boring and business like, with no consistency. Transparent windows look like a mess, and the Metro UI is not meant for multitasking. Clicking a button in the task bar won’t bring you to the thing you clicked if it has multiple windows, but it will ask you which window you want, which means multiple clicks to get to the program. In XP all that worked great, and now it’s just really flawed. I think MS tried to copy OS X in many ways (App management vs. Window management), but instead of copying it completely, they merged it with their version of things, which makes a huge mess.

This is why the majority of people still used Windows XP until just recently:

Yes, it can easily be solved, but I mean the way Microsoft wants you to use Windows is a bit counter-intuitive sometimes. Yes you can use it in other ways, but the innovation and new features are all going against that.



Please excuse Internet Explorer. I’m in the middle of a web project at work and need to be able to log in as myself and the site administrator.

windows 7 taskbar tweaker is the answer to your problems.

Fucking deal with it. Maybe it will get handy some time.

Oh my god you mean as soon as windows 7 came out people where hesitant to upgrade or don’t do it immediately? That is so different from all the other OS’s where the whole previous user base upgraded the day it shipped.

Actually you don’t even have to click the first time, just hover over the program and then select which window you want. But Metro and Aero aren’t just about the look of the program, there are a lot of technical upgrades behind them both, also.
