well heres my opinon the only best os to come from microsoft are the ones with the years in them eg

windows 95

windows 98

windows 2000

windows 2003

and look at all the failers

windows me :p

i say call it windows 2006 so much easier and understandable

i think they need to go the apple route and just name it windows 6 like someone said. simple names, no confusion about what is better increment the name. maybe even windows o/s 6. but just windows and the version would suffice and be simple. but the name vista is cool to me.

Vista? or ure username?

haha, seriously people get over the Vista username it doesn't reflect on the quality of the product in any way. We all know the development process and hard work of the programmers will give us our next version of windows and hopefully it will be as stable as possible. I for one like the name. Its not the best ever but it is growing on me.

Windows Vista: Makes me think that clarity, confidence and connectivity in Windows is a distant prospect. :p

Not a big fan of the name but like it matters, chances are I won't upgrade unless I still have my student license for msdn and get it free or download a volume license version off of p2p or something.

    • I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.
    • I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.
    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
