Why don't you wait until Windows 8 is available for testing so you can deal with the reasons.

I'm all in for new. I migrated to VISTA b4 it was launch, same for Windows 7 and soon Windows 8.

I laugh at people who is so scared of new O/S that they still hiding behind Windows XP after 1 decade!!!

Added on September 15, 2010, 8:54 pmI think that is almost DO-ABLE and at the same time NOT-DOABLE.

DO-ABLE is the sense if you spend RM3xx on an SSD, it's almost happening. Not DO-ABLE, is due to BIOS boot up is still pretty slow especially if you enable SATA mode(AHCI) or RAID...even before going into O/S, maybe 10 seconds gone liao, so even with SSD, time lost on BIOS boot up is unavoidable. It takes a combination of SSD and a faster BIOS bootup in order to have a PC boot up under 3 seconds me thinks. I thought there were talks of moving the PC BIOS to EFI like Macintosh....still nothing yet??

this got me thinking ...

win 3.11 - so easy to use, don't ask me use DOS Lotus 123 - "/" hate that ... why excel still have that
win 95 - wah so nice, got boot up .. where's my DOS .. dam .. need to go prompt to play game ... sien
win 98 - skipped
win 98SE - oh mai ... Graphics and Graphics and more Graphics ... played most PC games during this time
win ME - wtf is this use 98 la ... only good was the bootdisk can do partition
win 2000 - wth ... pointless ...
win NT - this is where GODS were born overnight
win XP - this was my office PC and home PC ... sick of it liao ... used far far far too long le ... time to change oldfags ...
win Vista - using still (ok la after SP1)
win 7 - very soon

Oh mai .. did i grow up with windows

Mind sharing why Windows 2000 was pointless?

Hmm... I was using Windows 2000 for my work last time.
It was stable.

But it's lack of interface candies made me install tonnes of stuff which got me walking into the Computer department for my quarterly re-image.

That is, until they got fedup and installed windows XP for me in the end.

So, Microsoft was right to put some eye candies into their interface so users won't have to spoil the OS, too much...

that is normal, nowaday plp no more only using window. microsoft need to keep renew his OS.

it's not our decision to decide whether to change or not.. when microsoft says upgrade to win8 they we must upgrade lo, they will drop the support for win7..

damn fast. i thought window 7 still haven stable yet ?

i haven't try win 7 even vista (i still love xp)

Lmao. I don't think Microsoft is going to release it as Windows 8. They'll rename it to something else. Probably Windows Gate

Wow, W7 has just reached its stable state not long ago and new one is coming up @.@

Preparing early is good. Just in case problems like in Longhorn development recurring again.

windows 8??
hmmm... wonder what is the best features?
security? presentation? performance?

im just starting to enjoy windows 7 , ms to release win 8. so fast.

time to go for windows 8~~

Dude, keep urself updatelar. Bill Gates long time no in charge of MS oready. Steve Balmer, the SOB, calls the shots now. I simply detest the guy...he is a freaky loud businessman in a suit....at least Bill Gates was a techy.....

And it's open secret Steve Balmer no like Bill Gates......if it's gonna be called anything, it'll be called Windows Balmer....that guy is full of ego and shit.

Just in case you don't know...Steve Balmer actually grab the iPhone of MS employee and throw it to the floor...and there is internal memorandum in MS all MS staff cannot use iphone or apple product...no kidding...an MS insider told me that...even in MS Malaysia.

That's downright sad.

Yet I saw my MS Malaysia colleagues using iPhone at work. Who are your friends again?

Well, Steve Balmer isn't always in MS Malaysia. There'll always be rebel faction.

I'm swear to secrecy for my source. Can't sing him out.
