Someones mum tries out Window 7,Vista, MLion and Windows 8


Recommended Posts

as I said I find it hard to take windows 8 fans seriously.

from about 15 close family and friends who I personally upgraded to windows 8 all hated it... now all have start8

I hated it... using start 8

on the internet their is criticism of it

MS is already changing stuff with 8.1/blue

so that 4 froms of evidence pointing toward windows 8 being mediocre vs handful of neowin posters who say its the best thing since sliced bread

that's why its hard to believe the windows 8 zealots..

Thing is, we've had this whole song and dance when:

- The mouse was invented.

- MS-DOS transitioned to Windows.

- The Start Menu was introduced/cascading menus were introduced.

- The taskbar was introduced.

- Window widgets (the up/down arrows, then the min/max/close buttons).

- The search bar was placed in the Start menu.

- The Office ribbon interface was introduced.

- UAC was introduced.

Every new change has been the worst damn thing in the world, and that's how things have moved forward.

If us computer geeks can't easily figure it out there is no way your normal mom and dad will.

Exactly the main thing wrong with Windows 8. That stupid way of it starting up is TOTALLY a cluster f**k and dumber than hell!!

Might be a good thing for a touch screen, but even then, still a cluster f**k!! :x

I didn't watch any of the videos as it even sounds like it's going to something staged, right from the get go.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
