So, pointing out that windows 8 and Office 2007 are completely different products and drawing conclusions about the usability of one to the other is completely ludicrous is trolling now? Ha. Ha. Ha.
P.S. plugging your ears and shouting "I win I win" in an argument doesn't make it true.
Take off the tin-foil. My only "agenda" in this thread is to point out the obvious fact that no conclusions about the quality of the UX of Windows 8 can be drawn from Office 2007. Period. How is your English?
He's simply showing that these same things were said about Office 2007, and turned out not to be true, so all these same hysterical rantings of doom and gloom are likely to not be true about Windows 8 as well (using history as a guide).
In no way does the former imply the latter. That you think it does speaks volumes. Furthermore, many people dislike Office 2007/2010 still so you are being very presumptuous in your argument. Here.
Does any of what you said here conflict with the GGP's experience with the Acer tablet in Compusa? I just read over his post again and he seemed to be specifically speaking of his experience as it related to that particular device. He says it sucks. Is he lying?
That's what you guys said about Office 2007, and that actually turned out well in hindsight.
You lost me somewhere. What does the usability of Office have to do with Windows 8? I.e., if Office 2007 is great does that mean Windows 8 will be great? If Office 2007 sucks, does that mean Windows 8 will suck? I'm not seeing the correlation.
You're making a judgement based on a developer preview pre-beta, where the UI isn't finishe
Er, part of the point of delivering pre-release builds is to gather usability comments. GP comment while a bit harsh seems in line with this. As things develop (har har), maybe opinions will change.
This a thousand thousand times. I've walked several people into Best Buy who were ready to buy tablets and explained the pros and cons of the various models. Not a single person has given the Streak a second glance. They usually go for the Transformer.
I lost count at the 100th word of your post but you used 100+n words to agree with me that MS snarfs Google search queries and adds the result pages to their database. Why the apologism?
Actually, I was trying to help you stop embarrassing yourself. You have no credibility bonch. Everybody knows you're a troll and a Google hater. Just admit it, man. You'll feel better afterwards. Maybe you're on the take. Who knows. Whatever it is you get out of spreading your lies I hope it's worth it. I heard something once about all that glitters or whatever. Maybe you know the rest.
Google's edge case was the only example of that particular search result that the Bing bar could draw from.
So, er, they copied results from Google. Thank you for confirming this. Does your head hurt from talking out of both sides of your mouth so much?
And then another dismissive response that doesn't actually say anything. It's pretty clear you don't actually have an argument to give.
What do you say in the face of utter moronic stupidity? You know the facts yet you basically completely deny them. It's pointless to try to have a legitimate debate with somebody like you. Not to mention the fact that I've seen you whip out multi-paragraph responses as a first post to stories that have only been on the page for less than a few seconds. You obviously have an agenda and care nothing for facts only how you can twist them to convince yourself that you are right. Sad. And pathetic.
I'm not even going to address the absurdity of your contention that MS didn't copy Google's results. There is evidence. I'm sorry it doesn't fit into your little world-view. However...
have a chip on your shoulder against Microsoft.
The fact that a mere description of MS' behavior is indicative of "having a chip" is more damning than anything I could ever say.
I asked for a citation that Google is swiping Bing's search results and adding them to their database and you reply with what essentially amounts to filibuster that has nothing to do with what I asked. Why am I not surprised? Why don't you just re-register with "IHateGoogle" as your username and be done with it?
I am very happy you are making peace with yourselves. I have known people that tragically suffer from mental illness and you stand as a beacon of hope. Thank you...whoever you are.
How many times do people need to read the follow-ups to that story to realize that it was wrong?
What makes "piloseo.com" any more authoritative on the issue than any of the other thousands of citable links that have exactly the opposite of their take on this?
Even Dan Sullivan
First of all, Dan Sullivan is not the person who discovered this so any thing he says is second hand anyway. Secondly, just because this particular commentator changed his mind doesn't mean he was wrong the first time.
Bing copied Google's search results. Hand waving, spin, and long-winded explanations don't make this any less true.
Bing didn't copy any result from Google. Bing's toolbar just captured (if they had opted in) what users searched on any site of the internet and where they go next.
I really don't know what else to add to this. Please read what you wrote back to yourself very slowly.
No doubt. I was in CompUSA yesterday looking at a $1600 Alienware and couldn't believe how awful the display looked compared to the row of 500 dollar tablets the next aisle over. It was obscene.

You're being trolled hardcore.

It's clear you have an agenda to push

You get lost easily.
An ad hominem. *yawn*

Streak failed because it was just plain not good.

Running around chanting "I win" just makes you look even more like the childish mental midget you are. lol

I have a subscription, you moron.
Hmmm...a business model that makes money off of trolls. Now, that's why Geeknet(TM) will never go out of business.

Now settle down there, tiger. Don't make me get an orderly and make it "nightie-night" time.

Yeah, God forbid somebody be able to find your shitty little website about the mating habits of Manatees or whatever. Geez.
I am very happy you are making peace with yourselves. I have known people that tragically suffer from mental illness and you stand as a beacon of hope. Thank you...whoever you are.
Google does the same
Can you cite a link that says that Google tracks Bing searches and adds them to their database? Because that's what we're talking about here.
