^ both of these sentiments exactly....

Too quote one of the responses

"I don't like that new OS, it seems really slow and like it would become cumbersome fast. I enjoy windows 7 because it's fast and easy like a cheap prostitute. Not that i'm endorsing prostitution of course."

If they decide to use that interface on a computer, i am staying with Win7 and hope that Win7 will run on EFI Hardware too, not just BIOS Hardware . . .
I finally managed to get the classical start menu and task bar back into Win7 and now this touch shit comes along and does away with it all? fapp dat ._.

I bet they will have a normal desktop as well.  But yeah, until touchscreen PCs are the norm, why do i want 'app tiles' to use with my mouse.

What a perfect time for switching Operating systems considering the absolute agreement of opinion in this thread.

 Pretty much this.

 @Stahlseele: Could you share the knowledge of how to achieve classic look for Win7 start menu/taskbar? I am extremely eager to make that happen but I haven't found anything decent for that yet.

mfw people think this is going to completely replace the window system known since Windows 95.

Relax, I'm 90% sure this is an alternative frontend like Windows Media Center (which right now looks pretty much like that) that is meant to go on tablets, HTPCs and the like.

Current Windows 8 alpha builds look more or less identical to Windows 7, this means you can switch between the classic win98-esque theme, Aero Basic which uses more or less the same resources as windows xp, and of course current gpu-driven Aero.

Sure.
This for example i am using for the classic start menu:

The classic task bar is just a clever application of the options of windumb 7.
Hardest part of the classic task bar is this:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/888-quick-launch-enable-disable.html
which, as you can see, is pretty easy ^^

There is also a freeware tool that lets you change office 2007 (the ribbons of doom) back to the office 2003 look, but i can't find it right now <.<

I prefere the way Win 7 works compaired to XP etc. Just feels better for the most part. But Win 8 could be taking things a bit too far too quickly. Ofc as already stated it might just be an option, and if you can just press a button and it's back to win 7 kind of look, then it might not be such a flop :D

Wow... peeps see one feature of a new OS and go ballistic.

Its called... turn it off. If you don't know how to do that, then you don't need to be bitching about it in the first place, it'll be user friendly enough to help you to use it.

I'm not seeing anything I didn't see when they released XP, a bunch of bells and whistles that can be turned on or off as needed. How quickly the crowd was to call XP a 'faggotry' OS (to quote some of the peeps in this thread). And how quickly thereafter, Win98 was forgotten. Same thing with Win7 and Vista/XP.

Must be that "Fight the system" adolescent BS running through people's systems still.


Anyway, a feature of Win8 that isn't really discussed is it will be coming in 64 and 128 bit versions (good bye 16 bit applications, thank god). Now the real issue is to see how fast AMD and Intel can get those 128 bit CPUs out there and affordable. Not to mention software developers.
