RedRagan: Win 8 is the new Win Vista (yes yes I know it's fixed after the update. Shut up)

Win 7 is the new Win XP

Now I don't want to know the new Win ME.

Kabuto: No, 8 was never like Vista. Vista was a memory hog, didn't deliver promised features and had huge compatibility issues with existing machines. Win 8's problem is 80% people resistant to change. Win 8 actually restored old compatibility 7 took out like VB6 compatibility, is less memory intensive than Win 7 and starts up much faster.

Good thing PC users don't use Macs. They would riot in the streets by comparison with Apple's constant wholesale changes in hardware compatibility.
I know it's not a really a similar comparation. But Vista got bloated system while 8 got awful non user friendly interface. I say they slow our work load the same.

Don't get me wrong, I like Win 8.... when it's applied to mobile phones and tablets. For desktops and laptops? eeeeh I don't think so.

I went back to Windows 8 recently after hearing that some issues had been ironed out. The only thing I don't like is when it's refreshing your apps it kills your internet speed unless you have a monster isp, but in terms of games and programs they now load in most cases in half to two thirds of the time versus Windows 7, which I never thought I'd be able to say.
