Sleepy Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm not sure if this has been posted before or at what section it'd even be if it was. General doesn't seem to have it so, here... Just found out about this today and yes they skipped 9 on purpose. Conference in the video.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 And yet I'm still using XP because computers are expensive right now, and I can't afford to be updating to newest model every time they make them. Haven't used Windows 7/8/Vista, but I have heard about their bug problems; hopefully those bugs are dealt with here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Althemia Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 rip no windows baka nineball edition I wonder why they're skipping nine.Some lazy coders make it so that programs do not run on operating systems that begin with Windows 9 so they don't run on 95/98. They acknowledged this and just skipped it as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I was trying to wait for the next OS before getting a new laptop (my current Windows 7 I brought the same day as Windows 8 came out), but I might just have to go with 8 when I replace it in a few months (unless I can find somewhere with 7) because I'm fed up of trying to clean it out every week. Wish they lasted as long as desktops. Can't wait to see the changes although I only looked at 8 a few times when I got a change to look at my sister's Windows 8 laptop.

J-Max Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Why do I have a feeling that MS is going to rename it 'Windows X' for that oh so edgy sounding name? Because adding X to the end always makes things more cool... Nah but seriously, still on Vista myself and am quite comfertable with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andx Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 One of my roommates somehow already has windows 10 running on his laptop. (Don't ask me how. He just brought up windows 10 yesterday and showed me) The look is a lot like windows 8 only they brought back the start menu. You still have the app tiles but they come up alongside the regular start menu that any windows user before 8 was so familiar with. Didn't stare at his computer long enough to see what all else was different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathanael D. Striker Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Every other Windows is s***. Windows XP - Good Windows Vista - s*** Windows 7 -Good Windows 8 - s*** Windows 9 would have been good but they're skipping it so 10 will be s***. Science. Skipping 9 means it doesn't exist. You can't count it like it did exist, therefore 10 will be good. Confusing logic ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but 9 is the number between 8 and 10. It's clearly a conspiracy by Microsoft to give us a shit OS because they are tied to the Illuminati. Obviously. You can't argue with science Striker.

Sleepy Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I've had the chance to use all XP, Vista, 7, and 8. XP I found it really good, and it really lasted. It was the last desktop computer at home that belonged to the entire family and not an individual. Eventually it got a few viruses from which it never got back. I still own my first desktop computer, a Vista Home Premium. It was good to me for a while, and for the intents and purposes of my casual use of a computer, it wasn't really very different from XP. I remember friends at the time said once that XP was like a standard car and Vista was like automatic. I never really understood well what it was so bad about Vista for some people. Currently my vista is not in use but it technically works. It still has Messenger installed and it'll try to come out if I turn it on, unsuccessfully. Partly because it doesn't exist anymore, and because I'm supposed to have uninstalled it already but there's some bug. Also last time I commonly used Vista it had become so slow it was barely bearable. It took literally half an hour to start letting me do anything. I currently own a Windows 7, and am really happy with this one. No complaints. It is the best computer I've ever had so far. My brother owns a Windows 8. I don't have good experiences with this model, and find it awkward how music goes full screen to the side away from the desktop, or the giant tiles forced into non-touch screens, or having web results mixed in with in-computer results in the search bar, the lack of Start (a familiar way to search out programs like Paint, to see what I even have in a clean list, to know where to uninstall something, etc. I don't see why some people call us pro-Start button people as "whining"). During my birthday 2 months ago, my family was going to give me a new computer and it turned out to be Windows 8, though I only had it for about 2 days and then the mouse stopped responding on its own, but I had experienced enough things I didn't like to not want an 8 again. -I started by installing my preferred browser, Google Chrome. It turned out that due to some sort of dark magic, Chrome was incredibly inefficient in this computer, to the point it would not start loading even one-minute YouTube videos and would hardly let me search anything on Google. It was sad. IE was working somewhat though, so I imagine Microsoft REALLY wants to support IE in their system. Even then IE could only resist 3 tabs open and could not install AddBlock in it, which is sad. IE's internet wasn't all that smooth either, at least compared to my Win 7's internet. It often would lose signal for a few moments despite being right next to the source that my Win 7 could easily use even being next door. I don't know why it happens but I'm not mentioning it just out of my own computer, but my brother's also has the shittiest internet grabbing abilities of all the house. My computer was a day old and my brother's is not all that old either, so they should be running like butter. I consider that level of performance that I got that day pretty much unacceptable and I was giving it an open chance. I hadn't even begun to really fill out the computer with tons of music, images, and programs. It could only get worse from there as it got older. So I'm pretty much on the Win 8 hater list. I'll respect anyone that says it worked for them and won't judge, but for me it was an awful experience. My Win 7 could run well with like 30 tabs open, or put AddBlock to IE11 as well as other things, and YGOPro seems to not support Win 8 since my brother's never updates and instead becomes unusable. So far I actually liked what I saw from the Windows 10 conference. I find the multi-desktop feature interesting, but it really depends once I get to test it. It is at the very least what Windows 8 should have been; a smooth transition and not an "in your face" forced abrupt and drastic change. Its performance is yet to be seen, but at least I can't really dismiss this as bad in this stage yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm hoping it doesn't have the same interface as 8.1, cause from what I've experienced, it's COMPLETELY unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miror B Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 The look is a lot like windows 8 only they brought back the start menu. THANK YOU JESUS PLEASE BE TRUE! As you can see I very much miss the start menu and no having to use the search function every time I want to pull up the calculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
