Reply To: Windows 8 sucks?
At the time, Microsoft wanted to have the same Operating System on PC’s, laptops, tablets and Windows phone.
Also, they beefed up the “User Account Control” Security stuff they introduced with Windows Vista but never fully worked until Windows 7.
Basically, every other version of Windows introduces a series of untested new ideas, and they expect the CONSUMER to be the test subject, then they expect us to move from that to the next platform they created.
See the below table:
Windows 95 – good
Windows 98 – bad
Windows 98 SE – good
Windows ME – bad
Windows XP – good
Windows Vista – bad
Windows 7 – good
Windows 8 – bad
Windows 10 – good
Obviously this is a generalization, but I recognized the pattern by Windows XP and decided not to buy every other version of Windows.
I also wait just over a year for the Windows Updates to stabilize the operating system.
I will not be Microsoft’s guinea pig.
