my fav thing about win 7 minesweeper is that if you had a 360 controller it actually caused the controller to vibrate when you hit a mine

Metrication: Dec 12, 2010; Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".

Further hints at a simplified naming scheme can be found in Microsoft�s plans for future Windows updates. The software maker is currently preparing Windows Threshold, which is expected to debut as Windows 9. The upcoming release will place a large emphasis on delivering regular updates to Windows 9 rather than preparing big successors like Windows 10 or Windows 11. While many expect the upcoming release to be called Windows 9, Microsoft could simply switch to just using "Windows" instead of a numbering scheme. It would be a surprising move, but with Windows client moving away from big releases towards regular updates it would make a lot of sense. A numbering scheme could still be present, but not marketed directly to consumers. Microsoft has already moved towards just using Windows in marketing videos instead of Windows 8.

i thought they were going to be doing 'smaller releases' with windows 8? and they did a bit then just stopped

They've promised this "regular updates" thing like ten times now, and have failed to actually deliver every time. Just take a gander at Office 365 and how it doesn't differ from regular Office 2013 (regular Office doesn't get feature updates).

I'm sure this won't confuse the gently caress out of ppl when vendors just say "runs windows" and it could legally refer to any OS microsoft made in the last 30 years

Joe 30330: Dec 20, 2007; "We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
