    How Microsoft can salvage Windows 8 before it's too late

    Sorry mate, you are wrong. WFS or to give it the proper title: ReFS (Resilient Filing System) is only available in Windows Server 2012. Win 8 still uses NTFS. I'm sure there are some performance improvements in Win 8 NTFS. There is a 'standalone' version of ReFS, but it's not too stable and is...

    How Microsoft can salvage Windows 8 before it's too late

    OK people. All your comments are valid. I'm no novice at this. I have been writing programs and installing OS since well before Windows 1.0 (which was laughable by the way!!). I built my first computer myself when I was living in the US in late 1978. From a kit no less. We are spoiled these...

    How Microsoft can salvage Windows 8 before it's too late

    OK. I realise it's NTFS. Duh!!! I'm not saying this OS is better than that OS.... You like Windows 7. Continue to use it then!!! I like Windows 8. It works better for me than Windows 7. End of story. We'll leave it there.....

    Some very bad news for 8........

    Not really. So Canadians probably won't upgrade to Win 8. So what? As long as Rush keep producing kick ass music, I'll be happy!!!!! :D

    How Microsoft can salvage Windows 8 before it's too late

    I have the latest hardware. The filing system in Win 7 has problems copying larger files. Same problem as Vista. Despite the 'patch' and Service Pack, this problem still exists. Same knee jerk reactions. If an OS 'scares' him, he's not very good is he?? I mean, Come On!!!! Just install the...

    Windows 8 Pro Retail impressions.

    Aero is NOT gone. Only transparency. But so what??? Aero uses your graphics cards hardware capability to make things quicker. Gadgets are also not gone, only hidden. They are horrible anyway IMHO. MS are just trying to integrate all their technologies into one OS. GFW, Windows Phone, XBox etc...

    Metro Whining and Other Windows 8 Madness

    No I didn't mean, I don't want to hear your opinion. LOL!!! Well Classic Menu DOES work in RTM. It's not an exact copy, but all the familiar elements are there. In fact all my programs work in Win 8. I have yet to come across a problem. I had a lot more problems when moving to Win 7. I'm...

    Metro Whining and Other Windows 8 Madness

    Totally agree. I think it IS worth upgrading. Windows 8 is noticeably quicker. The filing system is great. Nice and speedy. Everyone is 'fixated' on the Metro UI. So what??? One click - Desktop. Or install Classic Menu and Start is back and boots to the desktop directly. Stay with Win 7 if you...

    How Microsoft can salvage Windows 8 before it's too late

    Windows 8 is superb IMHO. Half the people who have tried it seem to be 'fixated' on the 'Win 8 Metro UI'. One click takes you to the desktop. Or install Classic Menu. Start menu is back and boots to desktop. So you 'see' the 'Metro UI' for a second or so... And??? Transparency is missing? SO...
