according to reliable inside sources, windows 9 will be based on debian gnu/linux, using wine technology to provide your familiar windows using experience. new microsoft ceo lennart poettering has promised to restore the ailing firm's fortunes. will 2015 finally be the year of windows on the desktop?

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

i'd actually be v. happy with a start menu but with big dumb win8 tiles for my most-used programs like that

otoh it might just be stockholm syndrome but i'm warming up to how win8's actual thing makes better use of more screen real estate, i just hate that it goes too far and takes up every single bit of the screen and fucks with my ingrained "just click somewhere outside the thing to gently caress it off" behavior

windows is an app launcher and general file systems handler

7 does this sweetly. up times of a month are not an issue and once you've cjd it up front there isn't much cjing to do later on except maybe tidy up your own poo poo [like downbloads drawer or apps I've installed that I don't want

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
you shouldn't want more windows, you should want something better, like a mac

no because I went straight from 640x480 to 1024x768. 8x6 was scrub tier.

1024×768 is just as scrub tier, the proper resolution for a two-page display is 1152×864

and that display should be a beautiful color-managed Trinitron™

start menu is a fuckin waste of time except as a searching tool. hit windows and type. it works well in 7. could work better of course

Birds revere you and consider you one of their own.

You are welcome in their holy places.
if they'd replaced the start menu with something worth a drat maybe the change would be worth getting used to

"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.

You know what else. Is a waste of. Time. Having your goddman start menu cover your whole screen when you search for poo poo. Remember win 8.0 update 0 where you had to. Manually select apps, settings or whatever category to search in? When since like VISTA it was automatic? Lol ballmer

and to move or remove start tiles there used to be this weird right-click menu thing that worked ok but had completely different interface principles to every other windows thing ever made. i think they only fixed that really recently
