Windows 8?

[Coin]

windows 95 = apple 87

we are all doomed. dooomed. DOOOOMED i say.


or not.

every 2? 5? years, processing power doubles. right now, your computer has wayyyy more processing power than was used on the apollo missions, and the phone you threw away five years ago could run PIII games (Doom on a Razr).

basically, win 8, like vista and millenium before it, is only marketing. MS needs to show the world that it is actually doing things... and win7, an actually decent operating system, is basically vista with about three/four years of advanced testing.

there is no way MS could afford to completely test the product before coming to market, so they don't. they realise an-almost-finished version that, in construction terms, is like the builder selling you a house with a tarpaulin roof; it'll keep the rain out, but thats about it.

everytime we send back the statistics about crashes etc to ms, it helps to improve their next product which we will benefit from in time/gives them advanced real-world testing data for free*
