  • Windows 8 to be more like Windows 7

    • Again just to be clear, they are making the INTERFACE more like Win7. The MARKED improvements in the operating system will remain.

        • I think they realized they went too far with windows 8. Too many people don't like to make major transitions like that all at once.

              • Note: They are only making the INTERFACE more like Win7. The much improved core OS remains.

                • You keep mentioning the interface . 98% of the public is only concerned with the interface. We expect there to be improvements in how the program functions but as long as it doesn't crash or slow down the show, all we care about IS the INTERFACE. :-)

                  • That's fine. But Coop has been arguing how bad the OS is. It's not.

                      Actually, the version I am running is called 8.1 and it was pre-loaded on my newly purchased machine.

                        Follow the bouncing ball my friend.

                        Update #1 is for Windows 8.1 and made available to the public on 4/8. Its supposed to help mouse and keyboard use as well as making the UI more Windows 7 like (if you opt for it).

                        Download it, live it, love it. ;)

                            • Are they not buying it because of the interface or the guts?

                              • Maybe they are not buying it because they are like me. I am in the middle of replacing 3 XP machines in my house, and am updating to new (to me) machines that came with 7. At least I leap-frogged Vista altogether.
                                Sad thing is, my hardware does everything I need, and I had no real inclination to move up, but had to finally make a change because of the death of XP. I for one loved XP.
