Say hello to Windows Blue!

I wont post the whole article here, you can read it at the source. One of the most interesting parts:

The first Windows Blue release will be priced at "a low cost or even free to ensure users upgrade," according to the tech site, which said the upgrade will "include UI changes" from Windows 8, as well as other "alterations to the entire platform."

The point was windows 7 is the last desktop OS from microsoft.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="JohnF111"] Windows has become crap and not that I don't appreciate that MS only go after profit and that looks more and more to be in Tablets, I just don't see why I should continue using Windows on a desktop when it's no longer a desktop OS. For me Linux provides 90% of the things I need and it's improving almost daily. The other 10% is games and even that's changing thanks to Valve and more developers adopting Linux as a viable business platform.GummiRaccoon

The point was windows 7 is the last desktop OS from microsoft.

So they add a different menu, improve on everything in desktop mode but it's the last desktop OS from MS?

And how do we know what Windows 9 will bring?

Granted Windows 8 is directed at Tablets and Touch Devices, but it can still be used on a Desktop.

Imagine the rage on these forums if MS had decided to bring out Win8 on Tablets ONLY?

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Windows 7 not a desktop OS? Ok then. Why complain so much? No one is holding a gun to your head. Go to Linux and be happy I guess.FelipeInside

Why aren't we allowed to talk about why we don't like it?

lol sorry chump but Linux is garbo. Just because Valve has developed a steam client for Linux doesn't mean all game developers are going to release games for it. are you really that clueless?

90% of useful programs don't even work on Linux.

Linux is for people with no life who like to waste time on the computer.

No, no you don't.

Same here.

DirectX is too cost effective for companies to just go switching to OpenGL/Linux. Developers do like OpenGL because it's more flexible, and I'm glad that Sony kept it alive, but I don't see companies spending so much more on developing PC games tbh; Especially since most gamers, including myself, are sticking with Windows.. I'm willing to bet that almost everyone in this thread that said Windows 7 would be their last Windows OS are going to end up getting Windows 9. People were saying the same thing when Vista was released, but then everyone ended up buying Windows 7 anyway...superclocked

I'd like to say that when vista came out I said I would wait for the next version of windows.

Since then, linux has lept forward in ease of use, I run my home server off of it, my VPS is running centOS, steam is going to linux and probably blizzard games will too. PC games are almost exclusively awful console ports these days so my interest in PC gaming is waning. Libre Office is just a quarter step behind office 2010 and I feel superior to the new MS office.

The changes MS made to the UI were arbitrary and unneccesary.

The only reason I don't use linux as my desktop OS is because of games.

If steam manages to get most games running on ubuntu that's where i'll go

good thing Unity 3d is starting to allow game builds to be made in Linux.
