Are you serious ?
Have you downloaded the right OS ?
dude.. i meant the whole concept of having the kind of interface they have, has been typically ripped off from apples ipad and iphone OS. all the slick moves, the throwing of program windows when you dont want them, throwing them to close them.. and the app store??? the top free, top paid, spotlight.. only the visual look of the store is different but the whole concept and the way it functions has been ripped off. and plus, only the apps that are downloaded from the app store can make use of the slick UI that is presented on the start page. rest all the apps function like on the normal windows 7.
the whole functioning, like the installing of apps going on in background instead of the traditional way so that the users normal usage doesnt get interrupted, where did all that come from?????
and you ask me if i downloaded the right OS????
... i very much downloaded the right OS, but this windows 8 is still very premature in what they have tried to achieve. lets see how much things change once the retail version is out.
the fools didnt even have enough sense that when they made such an interface where you want to just throw away to pan windows, kinetic panning concept, that the UI should give the users the liberty of being able to click anywhere on the screen and throw it away??/ instead of finding the scroll bar in the bottom to drag it??? this just shows how desperately microsoft is trying to copy apple and still failing. its like 2 kids giving an examination, and 1 kid over and above copying everything from the other kid didnt even have the sense of writing his own roll number instead of copying that off too!!!!!!!!!
all they have really done is just offered a customized interface for the start menu.. thats all. and offered the windows explorer like an app like apples finder.
and once you open the explorer, its just like the normal windows 7.. no other difference.. Microsoft should be giving this away as an update or patch for users having the retail version of windows 7. but they wont, because they just want to rip off the users.. .
even windows 7 should have been provided as just an update for users with retail versions of windows vista. theres not much difference in vista and 7 anyway except few internal settings and configuration.. but no, they launched it as a whole different operating system.. promising what not extra features and easy user interface when there really wasnt much difference in the both..
You know, when Bill Gates was the richest man in the world, at one point of time, he was asked "How did you become so rich".
He answered in one word and said, "Versions".
I respect windows, I respect it very much for the flexibility it provides. But, I hate their marketing policies to rip off users pockets by first unnecessarily launching a new OS, which basically is not a new OS but rather a customization of UI and a few other things, and then forcing users to switch to their new software by tying up with computer companies to stop giving support for older versions and sell products like laptops only with their new windows installed.
- Just a simple funny Question.!!!!! Please give your opinions.
