now i'm no longer running on windows vista and now y'all can stop laughing at me...

orse still, Windows 8's month-over-month growth rate is lagging further and further behind Vista's dreadful 2007 adoption numbers. When comparing the operating systems when they were first launched, Windows 8's adoption rate in its first month trailed Vista by just over half-a-percent among PC buyers. Now, in their 8th month out, Vista's market-share numbers now lead Windows 8 by 3.64 percent. Needless to say, both lag far behind XP and Windows 7's numbers at similar points in their product life-cycle.

I suspect things will only get worse for Windows 8.1 (Blue). Windows 8.1, promises to address some of users' concerns about Windows 8. But will it address enough of them?

For example, if all the reborn Start Button does is give you another way into the unpopular Metro interface, will Windows XP and Windows 7 users really care? No matter how good Windows 8.1 turns out to be, it seems likely that businesses will hold off on buying any version of Windows 8 until Blue is available in the fourth quarter of 2013.

3.64 percent holy shit, lol more people run linux on there home computers lol

they had 2 put the start menu back in, man big blow for the metro ui yahoo fan club i belong 2

now youre resorting to sales figures and adoption statistics to prove your point even though that shit has nothing to do with the quality of the operating system or else you could argue mac os X is fucking terrible and every version of Linux is terrible too because nobody uses them

now i am restoring to waht the rest of the world thinks and the millons and millons of dollors ms has lost,

those numbers are from last year btw DP, windows 8 is almost at 6% now

smart people like me(not u) went from windows xp to windows 7 and will most likely go to windows 8.1 or windows 9

empirical evidence that it boots 4 seconds faster, evidence which does not take into consideration how much time you lose to the godawful interface in an average session of facebooking

:rofl: yeah okay, in your dreams

those numbers might be close to correct if you subtract like 12-15%

windows 8 is for faggots and i know this is a blanket statement but if u did not just happen to have it preloaded on a new computer and saught out upgrading your windows 7 machine to windows 8 , even if u where given a copy of windows 8 upgrade, well then u are a huge faggot, ok, cas closed lock this thread

lmao, yes, thasts definitely windows 8 fault and not rubys shitty forum host

maybe in three years dp will know how to use a computer

most of the reviews of Windows 8 point out that its actually a pretty good OS and better than 7 once you get past Metro

its really nothing like Vista, its just too bad so many people are scared of it because the IT Nerds hsit all over it because of Metro

in the game for years still know nothing about it

definitely pro in the game of being really bad at computers

I don't give a fuck about the desktop. I don't care about any OS feature other than search. in windows 7 I can search with one click. in windows 8 I have to hover the mouse in the lower right hand corner for 3 seconds (this is fun in an rdp window btw), click search, type what I'm searching for, then decide if it's an application, setting, or document and click that then click the thing I actually want. in desktop mode my browsers keep wanting to cover up the taskbar, no matter what, so if I want to switch to something else I have to minimize first. it's fucking retarded, it's ass backwards and inefficient in every way and I can't believe that someone who knows what he's talking about would ever proselytize for it.
