Re: Windows 10 "Technical preview" released by microsoft.
Windows 10: an operating system built for the user who has come to expect lists with 10 major reasons why he or she should not upgrade. WE at Microsoft have always taken our userbase into consideration, which is why we've designed this nifty system by which you can keep track of the things we've messed up this time around. We have 10 great fantastic flaws for you to look for that will keep you in frustration and fury for days to come as you attempt in vain to grow used to the platform upon which these problems lie. We started out with 9, but somewhere along the way we picked up one that all of the other corporations didn't want on their own systems and integrated it into our own. Your task is to be the first to find the 9 original problems with windows and submit them to as many tech magazines and news outlets as possible, after which we suggest looking for the 10th as an added bonus. We promise to look into thinking about fixing the 10 th irritation, a problem you obviously haven't noticed yet but will, once we end up fixing it because we have added a flaw on top of the flaw to show our sense of humor.
IN all seriousness, that time I spoke of on another post on this forum located in a topic I can't be bothered digging up can't get here soon enough. I can't wait until something finally gives; either MS is going to fall at long last and crumble and tumble into oblivion done in by its years of lack of true innovation and the fact that it forgot who it was serving to begin with, or it will rise above all of the other tech giants with an operating system the likes of which has never been dreamed up, allowing it to grab hold of the operating system market for another 10 years, an event I do not see as likely in the near future. MS might have pushed itself ahead of apple and arguably many other companies, but that time has certainly come to an end. XP is done for, 7 which was s lightly more redeeming than Vista is heading out the door, and I'm sure within a year MS will try to act like 8 never was. the fact that I've been able to get used to these systems does not mean that I've been thrilled with Microsoft's moves overall within these past few years; I haven't. After waiting for them to turn this thing around, however, i'm coming to grips with the fact that even if they manage one spectacular thing with windows 10, it'll be too little, too late. Besides, as much as it pains me to say this, Microsoft isn't that kind of company, the kind of company that focuses on flare and excecution, the kind of company that takes the in-your-face approach and delivers a product that sticks in people's minds for years to come, 98 and Xp apparently being the exceptions on the software end, 3-60 the possible candidate on the hardware. That award goes to apple entirely; MS is too passive for its own good.&n bsp; I'll give apple this much, they've taken risks and one can argue as to weather those risks were truly necessary, but they were risks they were willing to take nevertheless. many features have been suggested to MS, features that could have easily been added in and at certain points were considered only to be abandoned soon after, and those considerations could have made all the difference for MS, all the difference in the world. if they manage to release something that pacifies the nostalgia of XP users while simultaneously being the next big thing, they will have come across something miraculous, and that is precisely what they need now, a miracle.
