You Right Dude Even Directx 8,9,10,11 may be more than 500mb,and all direct link library files more than 1gb what the wine will do with just 50mb what the hell we will do with wine …Linux Is The Best I Know Because All kernal copied the linux kernal to develop os as per developer and server linux
is good but for the normal people if you think practically no way of using linux ……Windows is only one os with platform based ……….apple won’t cross it…….follow the Top ten rule and talk about Windows 8

i ran the trial for 90 days not 1 Issue.
i bought Windows 8 Pro clean install, Not 1 issue.

i can find everything on my desktop i know how to run it its no different then windows 7/vista/XP its all there you guys are just weak, Lazy and Google dependent.

sad sad computer users.

Ajitem Sahasrabuddhe I have a question for you, the OS’s are made for the joy of the programmers or for a normal use of a computer components? Do you think that I need the graphic of an OS, or I want to see every few years something really new in presentation, or I must use the new OS because software is changing so quik and I still need a way to make them work together? First they changed the OS’s for every new version, is absurd, because you know I have something else to learn every time, now we add the operating system itself, for what reason? From 95 to 98, from 98 to XP, from XP to Windows 7 and now this aberation of so called Windows 8. Every time they change some thinks nobody asked for, every time they clame the system will be better… for who? Now we use some operating system that requires some calculating power, more that the ancient games or video editing, it’s not normal. The OS is just for use of a computer, not for entertaining itself, for that I have games, movies, music, photos, etc (for example Windows 7 need a memory of minimum 1 gb, I was drawing in Corel Draw with 256 Mb RAM). In a second way why me must change ourselves, is a question os survival, is a must that we don’t know about? We change if is problem of life, of compatibility with others not for a fucking operating system, just for the pleasure of some abnormal programmers. If you like the OS windows 8 just play with it, nobody cares, but don’t give them the pleasure of confusing us with no reason. Perhaps we must awake from that stupid way they shows us, is not what we want or need, is their impression of what we need as in comercials, we really don’t need all their stuff, especialy when they want our money all the time.

The case is not that automobile controls have been replaced with motorcycle controls but the manual transmission is replaced with the automatic transmission and the analog dashboard has been replaced with an touch screen digital one. This naturally creates confusion in the basic tasks of controlling the AC, radio etc. Even the auto transmission is a little tough to get used to. But once you get it, there is no turning back.

I have been reading a lot of hate regarding Windows 8 which leaves me terribly confused and disappointed that how can some of the most adventurous people in this world when it comes to technology can give up on something so easily! The start button was introduced way back in 1995. Its high time that someone changed that. The new start screen looks better and is far more intuitive. It feeds us with relevant information just by a glance which so far no OS is capable of doing. Moreover, one can just type and open the desired software they want.

And honestly guys, please tell me how many of you opened your programs this way

start > all programs > name of software > executable ?

don’t almost all of us exclusively use desktop shortcuts of taskbar pins (windows 7). I think that you must first get rid of the unnecessary hate and ridicule off of your minds and then once try using the new OS from MS. You’d find it powerful and at the same time easy. It has its own uses. Now after being an Windows 8 user from August 12, I certainly feel weird and out of place typing this from an old but good XP desktop.

There would be nothing more painful than shifting to Linux. Most of the softwares would not run properly. You’d say WINE but there’s only little to that. Besides, you will end up having problems concerning drivers of old or proprietary hardware.

Amit, Are you pointing towards the new Ubuntu Ad criticizing Windows 8 😛
