If only windows could update their OSes like steam did with their games. Rather than releasing a new one every year. Wouldn't it be better if they release a major update every once in a while?


Its obvious enough that these people at Microsoft are in it for money and not for the development and revolution of OS.

Have you tried Windows Update? It's equivalent of that updates for games. Just because Windows didn't get updated like games, having minor revision, doesn't mean it's not updated. Since when Microsoft release a new one every year? It's following their 3 years cycle. If it's not for development, right now you're still stuck with Windows Vista, no DirectX 11 etc eh? Not only Microsoft, all software giants, are in it for money including Apple and Adobe.

i think the impact of Windows 8 will not be significant enough to generate enough hype as windows 7. Since Vista actually attracts all the attention and Windows 7 "fixes" the complaints on Vista to generate enough trusts and sales, most people will already be satisfied with Windows 7.

With 3 year cycle updates, only a handful of people will buy Windows 8 or new PC buyers will get it. Existing Windows 7 owners might not waste the money if it's not some major breakthrough product.

It'll probably be like Windows 98se or Windows ME for Windows 98.

Maybe, maybe not. I'm particularly interested about booting Windows (almost) instantly, which, up till now, is not do-able. Full migration to 64-bit and component-based install are both interesting to follow.

from my experience...
win98 - good
winME - bad
win xp - good
win vista - bad
win 7 - good

win 8 - BAD?!

just my assumption lol

more virus??? just kidding...

well it's not really an appropriate time to release it since every1 is still stuck between xp, vista and win 7 currently...
if add in win 8 in 2 years time...then the confusion would be bigger @@

Why need to be confused? You don't have to upgrade to Windows 8 if you're just upgraded to Windows 7, there's no need for that.

Later u grow fatter/beard cannot recognise liao

window 8 = win7+imac.

if windows 8 got DX12 n go 64bit all the way,,,then mayb i will consider switching

win95,98,98se,ME

all the same architectural design and base coding

hopefully win8 will be an overall total change....

Errrr... Why would you compare with such ancient monolithic design? Total change? Are you sure you want that? Have you used Windows XP when it was launched around 2001? Peoples moaned, when their softwares and hardwares would not work at all in the newly and (almost) totally changed Windows XP. Are you sure you want that?

Im on Windows 7 currently, seems to be perfectly stable & fast OS. Is there any reason to change into Windows 8?
