Starting to hate Windows because of the incessant buggy versions and detrimental effects on productivity!

Windows OS are like Star Trek Movies, they're only good every other time.
I can't help but believe Windows 8 is going to be a reincarnation of Windows ME....with a little 98 thrown in for style points.
No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.

Yes, you are right. As in real world we need changes to live in this world, similarly we need changes in Technology front (even in OS) and opt-out it. Windows 8 brings a new styled OS in Microsoft platform and people should adopt it. Believe me guys, I am using it since it was first released publicly and it improved a lot in the RTM, which I am using for more than a month.
For the first time user, it is difficult to use it as it is missing the Start menu but after few days you will like it definitely. The performance that I noticed in Windows 8 is far far better than the previous OS (at least IMO).
Does any one has any other opinion on that (+ve or -ve)?

My current plans are similar to when Vista launched. Unless you want to be relegated to entirely legacy/maintenance work in a few years or leave the platform entirely; never upgrading isn't viable option.
I'm planning on getting 10/11" x86 tablet/keydock before the end of the year as my initial experimentation platform. Upgrading my primary PC is probably 3-12 months farther in the future (possibly concurrent with building a new Haswell box) depending on how quickly I learn it and when I'm willing to take the disruption hit from upgrading. Although if I fall in love, sometime over the two weeks I'm taking off for the xmas/newyears holidays isn't out of the question.

Hello all my friends,
I need your suggestion about university project. please send me your suggestion. I'm interested to work on websites or applications. i'm very  .

I think Windows 8 itself should be a university project by so-called developers at Microsoft. So I would suggest you team up with them to start writing a service pack for Windows 8.

In the future we have to move to W8 but after ME we start to plain to move to a new SO only after the 1st service pack. Then when we startto use it often SP2 is released.

There might not be one. MS has upgraded it's processes to push the non-security bugfix changes, it historically rolled up into service packs, out as they're created.

Thks Dan.
I think that we start to plain it after 12 months and I think that we start to use it after 18 months.
Best regards

I doubt people will be reluctant to these designs, specially old people.. but eventually they will start thinking different... 
Wonder what will come after this....

I suggest you to read the limitations on background tasks in Windows RT, and then compare the API capabilities with droid.
I can automate anything and everything on my SGS1 + CM Jelly Bean, launch uTorrent to download TV rip of the last eppy of my fave TV show while streaming music and multitasking between Google Reader, GMail, Dolphin and Skype, and watch the video on XBMC when the download is completed. If I was a Linux geek, I would use terminal client and some other stuff too, but at least the default droid OS doesn't make me feel like I'm in a kiddie playground.
still waiting for Ubuntu + droid devices to come out to upgrade my phone ^^

I like Win7 a lot. However, there are things that are lacking in it that I feel Windows 8 attempts to correct. The biggest one is the idea of ecosystem. Apple kills Microsoft when it comes to ecosystem in the consumer space. An iPad can use iPhone games, both can send video to an Apple TV, the Airport and Time Capsule set up very easily, and everything plays very nicely together. There are no third-party tools or special skills needed to get it to all work together. This is where Windows falls down. Windows 8 is the start of trying to rectify that. The Windows 8 Phone, the Slate, the Windows 8 desktop/laptop, and the XBox 360 all intend to play nicely together. That may be a game changer. The reason why I love it when my friends and relatives get Apple is because I know I will have a lot less support calls from them. I am actually a Microsoft fanboy in most ways (their business ecosystem is unparalleled) but the number of calls I get about Apple machines and setups isn't even worth talking about (one in the last year and that was because of a bad hard drive - I've gotten countless requests from people who have Windows). The kicker is that probably half my friends and relatives now have Apple products (your experience may vary depending on area, cost of living, etc.) Obviously this is anecdotal but it is disturbing to me as a fan of Microsoft. I see Windows 8 as a step towards correcting this problem.
The change in the interface to make it tablet-friendly will take some getting used to. However, I think it is a wise move. There are two ways to handle changes in the market - lead with new ideas that push boundaries or stay with what you know to work and watch as others take away your market share. Microsoft is choosing to (somewhat) lead. In reality they are catching up but they are leaping further in order to get ahead. The days of the desktop machine are dwindling. Don't get me wrong - there will be a desktop for a long time to come. However, it will not be dominant like it was in the last decade. Even the laptop is being challenged. Powerful tablets that can do 80% of the normal tasks a computer can do are taking over because they are easier to carry, more flexible in how they are used, and because they fit better overall in a lot of areas. I used to go to meetings and watch as everyone opened up laptops. Those that didn't used paper notes and either lost them or transcribed them into the computer when they got back to their office. Now I see a lot more tablets being used. I'm not sure this will ever be a primary market like desktops were or if the market will fragment relatively evenly between desktops, laptops, and tablets but I do see a large portion of the market moving towards the tablet. If Windows 8 didn't change how Windows looks and operates as radically as it did, the tablet would not work (it was tried once before and it was a failure).
There will be a lot of people who stay on Windows 7, and I think that is ok. For a lot of business cases, it continues to be the best platform for the job. However, I think we should be glad Windows 8 is coming out. This release will drive innovation. Apps will be built to support it and slowly an ecosystem will (hopefully) emerge. This will eventually be great for businesses but for now it will be a big win for the consumer.

Definitely MS's attempt at closing the loop. Will it come without hitches? I don't think so but will it be beneficial in the long run...I'm sure it will after some initial issues are iron out and users get their heads into the OS in terms of usability.
Look, for many, we get new cellphones almost every 2 years and we have to get used to changes in OS there...takes a while but we get there...or else we will still be using NOKIA 3310's.
I'm prediciting a bright future for MS OS 8+. Will I dive in and get the first OS8 release maybe not but an upgrade is inevitable at some stage...next year, the following year...its gonna happen I think...
My 2 cents and must say the original poster did an awesome job explaining his opinion on the matter

I sincerly hope your right for Microsofts sake.

I am not feeling in the mood of change right now. At work we use Win 7 as main OS with XP on VMs because the software we use simply don't work in the new versions. On the other hand, I still have customers with Win 98 running in their maschines, so I don't see a big change in a while.
I would not mind to test it in private computer, but I have no private computer at the moment.
Speaking about preferences... I don't really like the appearance of Win 8 very much, but I know this is just a matter of getting used to it.
Regards.

I was at microsoft just prior to Vista (so we had to use it), and I had some real problems with getting use to it. Things were just not where I expected them to be. I know people that do not like Windows 7 (a lot of people hardly noticed Vista) because it is so different.
