Windows 9 is going to be even better than Windows 8

Oh lord... Are they really coming out with a Windows 9?

At this point, they should just rebrand totally.

Windows 8 was an enormous disaster.

MSFT always wants to reinvent the wheel with each version of Windows. What they don't understand is that everyone uses it (at work) if they like it or not. People don't want change at work. If there is any change, it needs to be subtle.

Apple has understood, hence the changes from Mac OS X version to the next (yearly) are typically rather small.

A good operating system is the one you never hear about. How many people want to interact with the operating system? Mostly they want to use applications/programs. Sure they copy a file or hit print, but all that stuff needs to be easy and in the background. This is why ChromeOS is growing by leaps and bounds.

Should be about 1 better by my count.

Every other Windows release actually works. Windows 7 works. Windows 8 sucks. Windows 9 will work. Windows 10 won't.

I'm waiting for Windows 11.

Hahaha, I have never thought about that, but you're right.

I have always defended Windows, but 8 was a total shitshow.

Windows 8 sucks donkey.

Do you have a touchscreen or a touchscreen tablet to go with your windows 8?

Of the operating systems I've used, Windows 8 barely cracks the top ten. In order of my preference, it would be...

Linux Mint 17

Linux Mint 16, 15, 14

Chrome OS

Various iterations of Ubuntu

Zorin

Windows 7

Windows XP

Windows 8.1

Windows 8

Hopefully, Windows 9 will be good enough to keep the masses from switching over to Linux Mint. Big companies tend to buy great software when they can see a profit and then bloat it up.

Sorry about leaving out Apple's OS's. I haven't used them since the Windows Vista era so it wouldn't be a fair comparison.

Win XP was okay

Win Vista was an Epic Disaster

Win 7 was okay

Win 8 is an Epic Disaster

Win 9 will be ________ (fill in the blank)

Yes. I rarely use the touchscreen as it is a work computer and I am trying to do work.

People who defend Windows 8 are like people who defend Joe Satriani.

"But you see his technical skills are second to none. How could you not like his music? I don't care if no one likes it. No one gets it. He is amazing."

windows 8 you just install and all the device drivers are done automatically

way easier to install than xp and less crashing

For those of us who have been poor for the entire Win8 life cycle, we will get to skip from Win7 to Win9. Moving on up!!

People are still using windows?

...I certainly hope windows 9 will be better than 8...

...I certainly hope windows 9 will be better than 8... it would be practically impossible to make an operating system worse...

Windows 9 should be good, whenever there is a poor release, Microsoft issues a new good release within 18 months to address issues. XP which was good came quickly after the 98/SE/ME; 7 came to the rescue of Vista and 9 will come to rescue of 8. I hated 8 in the beginning, but it is actually pretty good once you get past the quirkiness and especially if you have a touchscreen. The biggest problem with 8 isn't a technical one, Microsoft attempted to drive the market in a direction it wasn't ready to go.

Btw, Windows is far more than an operating system, if you use it to browse the internet, edit photos and videos, etc., you end up interacting with Windows as much as an application. With that said, people invest a lot of time in learning their applications and don't want to have that comfort level taken away with every new release. Adobe Premiere 4.0 from the mid-90 has the same look and field as 12 released in 2014. Microsoft attempted to standardize the look and feel of Windows across platforms with Windows 8, they might be better served with making a better version of Windows 7 as opposed to Windows 8.
