I don't even know why they are called that. They never used to be named after the NT version number.

Windows 8 - Weight
Windows 9 - Whine.

Seen it, used it, don't like it
Quote: Windows Threshold exists
Oh! what madness have they dropped this time?
Quote: Windows 9 could exist - but doesn't.
XP with an updated core PLEASE! They seem have touch screen mad, I for one don't like touch screens (banana fingers, scarred to heck) Vista was a disaster (I still have a completely new unopened OEM copy) Win7 better but not the XP killer. Win8 a halfway house between tablet/phone desktop OS, Why?

Windows threshold is built on Windows 8 and is likely to be Windows 8.2 to bring back the old start menu and to make windows more like XP, I hope this makes Windows more enjoyable for you.

Well I know things have to change, it's the way Win8 divorced itself from previous versions, there was no gradual change as there was 98-2000-XP-Vista(?)-XP-Win7 all those versions came with enough commonality after about an hour you could use them. Win8 WTF?, unlike previous versions you looked for Z in the old place, find Z some where else. Z was dead baby!

DOS to Windows was a big change.

True, but at least with DOS if you knew what you wanted you could do. No as user friendly but you hit the metal near enough!  ...

If you know what you are doing in Windows 8, you can do things that you didn't even know where possible, so go to Microsoft Virtual Academy and learn about Windows 8, instead of talking out your ass.

Quote: I warn you the virtual academy is pretty dry and stretched out
As is most Microsoft Training, I have found it easier to figure out what I need to know by doing,
breaking things and then fixing them. Win 8 seems to get around that by hiding everything I need (Device Manager etc.) it takes too long to find them. Also there appears to be a change to the Interface Layer (with regard to drivers) that appears to get in the way of some of my applications...

No, it wasn't.
The pre 95 versions of Windows were a graphics shell which ran on top of DOS - it was DOS with a pretty face and memory management. 95 was different - and better - because it wasn't DOS based.

DOS was Bill gates first OS, next came Windows 1 and Windows 2, but the public didn't pick it up until windows 3.11
What you said just reinstates what I was saying thank you.

No it wasn't. Microsoft bought DOS. It had nothing to do with Bill Gates. Perhaps you would care to share some more of your revisionist history.

Thank you. I was gonna correct him, and you got there first.
He probably thinks the holocost didn't happen, too, or that we didn't land on the moon, or that Obama is a U.S. citizen.

How he got it does not change the fact it was his first OS genius
|
|
|
|
|
Dos was invented in a board room off of nothing before bill gates bought an operating system for $50,000 and then called it dos, and he only did so after he changed the OS to suit IBM.
Windows 1 and Apple (I forget what the original windowed OS was called) were both stolen from Xerox.
That doesn't change the fact that is was Microsoft first OS.
