Microsoft Windows 10

@cobito:

It's not that I want to create controversy or a sterile discussion that leads nowhere, but you've just perfectly described what a Linux distribution consists of. The truth is that it would be interesting to apply that concept to "Windows distributions".

That's exactly what I'm referring to cobito I have my own crusade with Linux and I haven't used it for years, after having spent months studying it and using it forcibly, in almost all its aspects. It's true that I should have mentioned it, at least comparatively, but as you have rightly pointed out, if we remain in the field of "Windows distributions", the points I miss are exactly those.

@Bm4n:

Well, I'm not here to defend Windows, which I haven't had at home for a long time because I use OSX and Ubuntu/Fedora, but the fact is that at the interface level, all OSes haven't advanced much, they follow a similar progression. Internally, the Linux and OSX kernels go down a different path, regarding compatibility/drivers Windows has a good level, and in stability/apps I would say below OSX and above Linux.

What's the problem, the users, Windows has a very limited audience that at the slightest change refuses to update because they don't understand, don't comprehend or don't like it, see the usage percentage of XP. The opportunity they have now is very interesting to me to lighten the kernel and unify, now from a mobile to their xbox they can have a very similar X86 hardware; why not make the same system that adapts the interface to the type of screen, that seems to be what they want to do and it must be said that it's a good idea.

Windows 8 is a great system for touch screens, the problem is that they made the jump too soon and for the millions who still use a mouse and keyboard they don't have a good experience. W10 should have been W8 and vice versa, hence OSes have a progressive evolution to adapt to users. The same problem Gnome had with its v3, they made a big change modernizing and people anchored in the past didn't like it.

Anyway, W8 is what we will use in the near future when everything will be touch and traditional desktops and mice will start to disappear. Regarding the kernel, they will lighten it because it's necessary, and the simple aspect yes but not ugly, I hope they hire some accredited designer and it also adapts according to graphic resources.

On the subject of drivers, it seems we have very little memory

I agree with you.

Regarding drivers, refresh my memory, because I think I've missed something

True, Windows 7 already came equipped conveniently, and that the 8, beyond having touched it once, I haven't looked at it again much less taken action :risitas:

Men, things have improved a lot now, drivers mostly install themselves, and plug and play is more widespread, it used to be a different story, the thing is we've forgotten about when you had to put the drivers in during the OS installation or when you had to pre-install before connecting.

Yes, if I haven't forgotten, it's just that some are missed on certain hardware. It is true that it has improved since previous systems, there is no comparison, that's exactly what I'm referring to, but I say that one or another driver of these that ends up leading to instability if not applied quickly is what would be perfect, something like a total stability package.

Obviously, I don't mean replacing the official drivers of a graphics card with a simpler compatible driver and then launching ourselves to play top games now, with everything on ultra

That thing about mice disappearing and everything being touch… will be for a certain audience for whom leisure uses the PC for games as is my case, it's clear if they are going to remove the mouse, another thing is that VR is really implanted and works like an Oculus Rift for example, but that really works, I still don't like the whole touch and I think the mouse is still faster.

[whoololon]

…in fact, I can't imagine a good game without slamming my fist on the keyboard and/or throwing the mouse to the other side of the room. Relax, buddy.
:ugly:

It is very good that the future is tactile, which I do not fully agree with because not all tasks adapt to that type of use, but I do not see the need to impose a touch-oriented interface right now and for all PCs, including those that are still handled in the classic style which are the majority.

In terms of aesthetics, yes, to me it is ugly, it is a personal appreciation ;).

I don't know if out of curiosity you know why they skipped Windows 9. It's simply a matter of name compatibilities when identifying the version of Windows.

There could be programs that get what version is being used by comparing if it matches the string "windows 9". The problem is that there could be a false positive with Windows 95 and 98.

I don't know if it's a "Captain Obvious" but it had never crossed my mind.

About everything ending up being touch, I don't think that's ever going to happen. I mean, it's not ergonomic. For someone who uses a tablet an hour or two a day to check four things it may work, but someone who spends the whole day in front of the screen, would end up bad in a matter of days.

There are still keyboards and mice that come with warnings about the possible damage to the joints they can cause if not used carefully. Just thinking that I have to do a CAD design with a touch device, gives me chills.

Salu2!

Is it supposed to update itself or do I have to install it? I'm going to start it up to see... PD. Is it just me or does Windows seem more and more troglodyte-like, or does it change a lot or I fear that 10 is not going to be a great Windows, I don't understand where they put so many millions because in R&D... Maybe they all go to the development of patches for IE.

[Yorus]

Minimalism misunderstood. I must be getting old because between Unity, Metro and company they are already getting on my nerves, that and having to use accounts from each company for every little thing you do (Microsoft, Apple, Google…). Those are the two things I like least about current systems and why I feel so comfortable with Mint and Windows 7. But well, I also live off this and I will have to catch up, so let's see if this time I download the Technical Preview and get the hang of it.

At least the next Office will have the possibility to choose several interface colors, because 2013 damages the eyes, it is inconsistent to have 1080p to use two colors and almost confuse the background of the sheet with that of the buttons.

Well, I like the latest update a lot more, let's see if they can migrate all the junk from the old Windows to Metro once and for all for the gold... It should also be said that incorporating Cortana is something logical and intelligent, if they continue down this path, they are only missing the apps that, although I don't understand why, are still very scarce in Metro.

El 29 de Julio finally comes out, to see how it turns out it looks good.

[krampak]

Today I received a message from Windows in which, by entering my email, it reserved the free upgrade to Windows 10 for when it becomes available.

[Tecnho]

It just came out for me too, so I'll wait.

[Yorus]

I will update the laptop to see how it goes, so I can catch up a bit.
