aero was actually a cohesive design decision that was wholly usable. say what you will about the glass aesthetic it didn't really hamper the user experience

other than using someone's surface rt i haven't used windows 8 on a tablet, how does it compare to just using it with splashtop? i mean i get that splashtop is a little laggy because its over a network but it really didn't seem too bad (despite the gestures and poo poo being retared that is)

Cardboard Box A posted:ReactOS isn't done until Office runs. it has been getting steadily better over the past like decade that i've been periodically checking it out but i dont think this will ever happen beyond it running like office 97 or something its just something neat to play with sometimes. its actually kinda impressive how much they were able to imitate win 2k/xp. most of the dialogs and poo poo are either exactly the same or like 99% similar and in fact waaay back in high school i used to extract cmd.exe, regedit.exe, taskmgr.exe, etc. from really early reactos builds because they were functionally identical to the real deal but didn't bother to check for user privileges so they would let you do admin stuff

Cardboard Box A posted:Ah that explains it. Thanks for testing though, it is amusing to see. lots of stuff actually runs but its kinda a crapshoot whether or not it will function completely bug-free i guess. older games (even more complex dx9-era stuff) run about as well as they do under windows and in some cases (16-bit windows) its ironically the only way to play them without a vm honestly i think most of the criticism of wine on os x was aimed at it when it used to use X11 instead of quartz for its graphics backend. since then its gotten much much better
