Lookers_Carl Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I like how they are integrating xbox live and windows live. Can see where this is going, come 2013/2014 when next XBox hits, will see cross platform gaming with xbox 360 and pc games that use games for windows live. I think they are a bit too late entering the tablet market though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Looks awful, but I think that about all windows releases. It will be full of security holes, badly thought out ideas, designed to be run with admin rights to enable you to do anything and generally bad security ideology and will noticeably slow down after 6 months of use as well as not conforming to industry or open standards. It will sell by the truckload and need a service pack within 8 months to fix core functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right if past iterations are owt to go by Windows 98 - Good at the time Windows ME - :censored:e Windows XP - Ok after a couple of service packs Windows Vista - Absolute wank of the highest order Windows 7 - What vista should have been in the first place I know our uni are only just adopting windows 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 We've rolled out Windows7 this weekend, I've used it at home for a few years but now hate it after this weekend. I dread to think what it will be like in our enterprise environment in a few months, I can see me looking back on the XP days fondly.

Ackey Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 We've rolled out Windows7 this weekend, I've used it at home for a few years but now hate it after this weekend. I dread to think what it will be like in our enterprise environment in a few months, I can see me looking back on the XP days fondly. Our roll out (I had nowt to do with it, to be fair) went quite well... the users even like it! Mental. That said they rolled it out for my Dad last week at his work and :censored:ing hates it!
