Re: [iPad] Re: OT: Windows: It's over

 

Do you have an example David (not trolling).
 
Windows has foibles, but I don't see any real issues with doing things. You can do things by the standard menu, etc, etc, but you can also do many things quick. Websites are big for me. I right click the IE or FF icon on my taskbar and I then click what I want under Pinned or Recent, nice and quick. Havent been on my inherited iMac for a while but I found that quick website access not there. Having said that, I have little doubt it is there in another form.
 
Usability in Windows 7 I find excellent, the foibles I hate, such as registry, slowdowns after a period, apps being everywhere on my hard drive. MacOS having apps generally in one place, one folder? Wow, nice. Or you could have them in a number of system folders, and sharing system files, no way.

Problem, maybe, is that Windows requires so much counterintuitive learning that a typical user's reaction may be, "I don't want to through that all over again!".

Applications seem to zip along a bit faster/better.

Better (at least more useful for me) shortcuts built in utilizing the
"windows" key.

I agree that Win7 was the most stable windows up to that point.
Win8 is just as stable, at least on my computer.

I wouldn't try to convince anybody who is happy with Win7 that they
should run out and get Win8.

I'm just trying to be a voice crying in the wilderness for those who are
avoiding Win8 on purpose, that it's nothing to run away from.

It's an incremental improvement over Win7 -- if people feel better
moving only to Win7, great, but from my experience all the naysayers
about doom and gloom about Win8 were wrong, so I just want people to
know that there's at least one very satisfied Win8 user out here. :-)
