Depends on how you look at it. Apple dictates GPU drivers, so you easily say Windows is far better because you can actually use new GPU hardware without waiting for Apple to let you.
Windows 8 is better than Windows 7 in every way on a technical level. Its funny that Windows 8 is so good that the only thing people can really complain about is the change of the start menu which i find to be an improvement.
I had an intel badaxe2 and it was a great board. I was really impressed. Its sad to hear they're leaving the desktop motherboard business:( I found intel's boards to be very well made.
Everyone that sincerely tries Windows 8, finds that its a very good OS. Some people are thrown off by the lack of the old start menu but then quickly adapt as its no longer needed, and the replacement is far better (not perfect but more functional) The rest who cant live without the old start menu, install a 3rd party start menu program. I think this is a mistake to do so, but it is their choice.
Overall Windows 8 on Surface Pro is incredible. It's the first version of windows I've bought in a long time. The price was right and the software was worth it.
Microsoft is on the right path. They are not perfect, and they need to focus and refine. They need to be passionate and direct. Windows 8 is a good example of a new direction. It's more efficient than any windows version in recent times. Its stable and its a workstation and a mobile os. That is impressive and ambitious.
Windows 8 is also up against Windows 7. Both are great OS's and one doesnt NEED Windows 8 because they are so similar. However Windows 8 is faster, and more efficient and its touch and mobile friendly. I think this is why one can say Windows 8 hasnt done well, because people have Windows 7 which is still considered the best version of windows MS has ever made. I think Windows 8 is that version but its clear Microsoft is turning towards a better future.
Microsoft's biggest problem is their big ideas, often lack complete follow through. They dont give the user EVERYTHING they want or need. They always seem to leave some aspect lacking, and users left asking why?
Thats where Microsoft needs to improve. Windows 8 is a phenomenal OS. The engineers and programmers should all be proud. Their hard work is stable, sold, efficient and faster than previous versions. It's clear that the team is capable of anything if they put their mind to it.
It doesnt work like that. You actually die from this kind of teleportation. This isnt a simple passing of time like age. This is the complete destruction of one being and a recreation of it else where and the process is likely to be EXTREMELY PAINFUL.
A republican proposing a tax on guns would be political suicide. Republican voters would go fucking insane at that idea... but videogames, sure no problem.
Actually their businesses is to precisely make me happy, its what makes them money. These are an entertainment companies. I dont buy their products to make them money.
The new one is now basically an app launcher and a touch based app interface, one of which i rarely use. Thats how redundant the start menu was. Taskbar is where its at.

Does this run on linux or do I have to install Windows 8.
It's actually pretty good.
Windows 8 doesnt suck. I hate the fucking bias around here.
yup
Of course this is just an observation based on 2 emails, but is he normally that insanely high strung? or is there something eating at him?
I like Linus and his work. We need people like him. We need linux, but is this how Linus always behaved?
The corporations?
Eat a dick liars!
If he had that, some piece of shit criminal would now be running around with his ar-15 illegally.
That is the only way this will ever change. Otherwise, its all fucking useless words.
Slashdot.org readers hate microsoft no matter what. Its sad really how willfully ignorant zealots can be.

Free Market? Sorry bub, it doesnt exist.
Everything you buy is not yours.
I had an intel BadAxe2 with a QX6700 overclocked to 3.4ghz and it was incredible.

It will collapse... and the rich will be fine.
Our government will have done nothing, and when we ask why, they kill another arab somewhere

In America, "creators" do not own their own work sadly.

Firefox and even IE10 are both far better
IE10 needs an extension to block flash ads though.
He's an idiot. he compared windows to a dos prompt, and could not figure out how to close apps. This is not a thinking person.
The old start menu was redundant.
