More spurious output from Human Factors majors, engineers trying to imagine the simple, and corporate timetables.
They have had decades to simplify the process, yet the only thing they create is a pain-in-the-ass difficult transition from one methodology millions have finally become accustomed-to to another that will take months to instil.
I’m tired of effing questions upon questions - “Are you sure you want to delete this? [I wouldn’t have pushed the damned button otherwise]. I’m tired of intuitive icons and convoluted thought processes developed by people whose only goal in life is to “change it” for change’s sake and because it’s time for a new OS....bullshit.
Windows 8.
I haven’t read many positive things about it.
I am still getting used to Windows 7 and the crappy ways some things work (or no longer work) in it.
Even though I can get the $14.99 Win8 upgrade on the laptop, I think I will save the money.
File Explorer in 7 is atrocious.
Ribbon Menues. Whoever came up with that should be shot.
Where are the obvious ‘buttons’? Now, when a screen pops up, one has to move the mouse pointer around to try to figure out what is a link and what isn’t.
I do like the ‘easier’ networking capabilities with 7. However, even though it utilizes more memory than XP, the lag is ridiculous.
...and left the business community out in the cold. Win8 is OK (barely) if you want to surf the web or look at pictures but completely inadequate if you actually need to get some work done. Nice job guys!
My first computer back in the 90s did more and was easier to use than my new (and already outdated) Windows 7.
M$ hopes that despite all the negative reviews and pooh-poohing that Windows 8 has received to date, once people get it in their hands (never mind that that has already happened for some) and once they get their brilliant ads up on teeheevee, all that is going to change and there will be a tsunami of support for Win8 and a great outpouring of love and people and angels singing in unison kumbaya and the praises of Ballmer and team.
Might happen - but then again I sorta doubt it.
Are there still 90’s Seattle grunge people milling about aimlessly and hopefully looking cool? Microsoft marketing got stuck in quite the rut doing that.
