Then they did little searching. Install Classic Shell, add a Quick Launch bar, and it is much like W/7. As explained in Windows 8 pro review (upgrade XP to Windows 8 with Classic Shell) ">this FR thread. : In from what i see using the Window 10 preview, as explained in this thread , shows little change from Windows 7. And i usually run with about 100 tbs open in 2 browsers, and about 12 docs, etc.
There is not much of any reason to change to W/10, except for service life. As long as the OS is 64bit for increased ram capability. Even XP is fine for most businesses, except it is no longer supported.
Meanwhile, Linux has a long way to go to be mainstream. Never really had an Mac to try.
“Then they did little searching. “
Well, if it sucks right out of the box.... :) I’ve not used apple a lot either but if a lot of SMB is going that way or mixing it up with linux, which is what I would do, that’s easily 10 years Microsoft will have to wait to try to get those customers back, if they can.
You don’t understand how businesses work if you are seriously arguing that they are going to go buy a bunch of 3rd party crap and put it on there entire enterprise just to make the OS usable by their trained employee base...
WIndows 8 is a disaster, and its been roundly rejected/ignored by the enterprise for good reason..
Here is the complete and concise reasons why Windows 8 is an absolute failure. 8.1 kludged it to a bit more useable, but still doesn’t solve the underlying problems with the entire thing.
