I say if it does not do so, this software giant may be out of the business within the century.

i hope windows 8 been more better than 7

I should use not fully optimized instead of fully utilized, sorry for the wrong word used here
for example:
the battery life in windows is not efficient compared to other advanced OS such as OSX leopard on the same machine
on the same machine OSX has much longer battery life

furthermore, windows has some redundant services running behind that consume CPU resources, which slow down and shorten the battery life

well you can see, windows phone 7 is just an example of revolution

That's so 2006. Haven't you heard that Windows 7 now handles power more efficiently than Windows Vista?


That can be disabled if needed.


I still can't figure out what this sentence mean. If Windows is not compatible with hardwares, you will see peoples moaning over the world that their new hardware purchases doesn't work with Windows. Am I right?

well i heard alot about windows 7 regarding power handling improvement , but in real world test... it makes negligible differences
athough you say it is so 2006
windows 7 does not really improve the power handling.

well I just said that sentence because the former forumer thought re-designing architecture of OS will need new hardware architecture/organization as well...

for me and my personal beliefs. the good windows version is

(upgrade from 98)
Windows 98se (best version. beats the hell out of ME and 2000)

(upgrade from 2000)
Windows XP (didnt use it until 2002, shockingly satisfying, i dont even want to change at first lol)

(upgrade from Vista)
Windows 7 (tried vista on a friends pc and readin review.. it sucks.. until 7 comes i installed it right away)

~looks up~
im pretty sure i will hold up for a while if Windows 8 hav surfaced..

I don't dig the hype, i dig the reviews.

cheers~

windows 7
- windows media player - failed
- dvd burner - failed
-internet explorer - failed
-defender - failed
-hardware req - high
-power consumption - high


the only things that not failed is the direct x ,which enable many pc games can be play.

I hope that Microsoft would make their OS greener. I have have to use laptops and i always find myself low in battery when using the Windows 7.

My Acer laptop can survive for about 1.25 hour, but it could only survive for about 45 minutes on the Windows 7.

All Chinese in the world will like Windows 8.

8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8

i never try window 7 yet

Yeah.

Nokia avoids the S60V4 to rename the Symbian touchscreen OS to S60V5 due to the eastern culture.

you can always buy from the retail shops.

i dont think the hardware requirement is high. i can use windows 7 on pentium 4 pc with 512mb RAM.

internet explorer is ok to me.

Internet Explorer 9 will be good, it will follow strictly web standard and support HTML 5.

When will the IE9 be available as a stable version?

Too early liao.. They wan suck peoples money ka? (._.) win7 is good alrdy.

Still using Windows XP here. If they come out can skip Windows 7

You don't have to upgrade if you don't want to. No one, including Microsoft is forcing you to upgrade anyway, plus Windows 8 release date fits just fine in Microsoft OS release cycle.

i hope window 8 will getting better ...chg the design view and themes at all

I wish that it would be greener, so that i can use it on my laptop for a longer time compared to Windows 7.

Hope the windows 8 is much much better
