While I agree that Vista was slow and sluggish, they made a huge change to the code that made it much more secure. That caused all kinds of issues with devices not working and new drivers needing made (I know you already know this, just typing it anyway). So I can forgive a lot of the issues with Vista because it was a very needed change in the right direction, especially for security. 8 is just a steaming pile of shit that they tried to polish, but they didn't wait until it was hard enough and now it's just smeared all over the place!
You should apply for a position at MS! You can use me as a reference.
You think? I agree with him. Voice is the future. But I disagree about removing screens. The future I see is in our pocket. Our phones will sync with a bigger display at home and at work. OR the screen will be in our glasses/contacts, similar to what Google is working on now.
I hope he and everyone understands that I'm not against change at all, I actually enjoy it and force it on my users quite often. But if it brings no improvement it's a waste of time and money.
I think I first installed 12.10 and wasn't happy. Went to 12.04 64bit which was a mistake when trying to get WINE to work, so I ditched that and went to 12.04 32bit and I'm happy.
Not sure if I like Unity though. A bit sluggish at times.
Yeah, by "losing screens" I meant that either glasses or active contact lenses will create the appearance of screens where there are none. You'll be able to use any piece of card or paper as a touch device, for example, with the "display" being mapped onto it in real-time.
Man, the future's going to be awesome.
It is isn't it. I just wish they stop messing up the present and get there!
I know. I just wanted to say Weakly Interacting Massive Particles because they're cool.
But what do /you/ think, Benjamin?
