maybe it is an april fools!
...wasn't OS9 the last version of the old-school Mac OS, before Steve cam back and they went unix?!?!
But really, all we need is for the OS... even Microsoft's OS to SIMPLY work, be clearly setup and reliable, the complexity should be in the applications, not the OS.... XP was fine, 7 was ok, why bother with so-called "innovation" that makes things more complex instead of simpler?!?!?
(maybe just corporate MS priorities, rather then user experience priorities...)

Bringing back the start button shows a lack of imagination. It isn't hard to adapt the idea of the start button (and its menu) to Metro's tile-based interface, but it seems they didn't even try; splice a chunk of Vista back in, ship it out.

Now they are removing the "charms" menu from Windows too...

Shouldn't it be Windows 14 or even 15? Ever since Windows 2000, the Y2K bug fugged with their naming conventions.

Win ME - Shit
Win XP- Good
Vista - Shit
7 - Perfect
8 - Shit
9 - ...Odds are that 9 is going to be good. Or just 8 with a start button.
- I am guessing it'll be 8+start. Maybe we'll be lucky and get new colors!formed

7 wasn't really that different to Vista though, it just took that long for companies to ship working drivers and stop shipping crappy underpowered laptops.

I kind of like WIndows 8 , it's very stable, hasn't crashed once since I started using it over a year ago, manages its resources very good, the task manager is very extensive now and is very easy to analyze .. Just use a Classic Shell to bring the start menu back and it's fine. What don't you like about it ?

I hated the way it was originally designed though, no way I'm not using a regular desktop

i dont really care about the OS anymore.. In the past I cared but not now. Iam always in Chrome and Adobe's products and I use Adobe Bridge to browse my files. So I dont really care about Windows or OSX. And everything is the same on Mac and PC these days, the exact same softwares.
The war is over.

Windows 8 is kinda growing on me slowly, still prefer OSX but miles though, in terms of stability and creative work flow, its just way ahead.
Maybe 9 will address stability and UX not focus so much on UI.

I don't mind Windows 8 but Microsoft needs some new ideas. People just care about Metro or whatever it's called now.
