He is talking about how everyone needs to deal with it.
Because it made a internet meme.
uh....how can you possibly think that charging for xbox live gold equates to better sales of the 360.
I thought the watermark was just so you couldnt rip or burn disks. If that's the case, then I withdraw my statement. Thats ****ing retarded. Seems unlikely that this is how it will be at release, even if they're considering it now. If it is going to be that way, then I can definitely see that being a major hit to their sales.
No, it doesn't. It has a start menu thats more easily usable for tablets, but thats far from catering to them at the expense of desktops and laptops. I use Win8 on my desktop and one of my laptops, and it functions better than windows 7.
Disagree. The new win-x shortcuts are brilliant, it performs better than win 7 did on both my devices, the taskmanager and performance monitor is leagues above windows 7, and the start menu is actually better, despite people's unfounded disgust with it.
Windows 8 hasn't even been out for six months yet. Windows 7 has been out for over three years.
That wasn't my point.
You piss people off because you spew bullshit as fact.
This is your conclusion? What's the point in upgrading to a new OS if it's going to be different than the current OS? Are you ****ing serious?
You're too funny.
This is completely irrelevant to the point I'm trying to make. I do not give a shit what pieces of software may not currently work or be glitched on Windows 8. I have never used Windows 8, and that is irrelevant to my ability to point out why your logic is flawed. Yes, things being broken or inoperable in Windows 8 is a bad thing, and a reason to not switch to the OS (yet) if you need those things. I'm not making a case for Windows 8, I'm making a case against the attitude you've expressed in this thread.
do you proof read your posts? contradiction!
Why do you keep saying things that have nothing to do with what I said? When did I ever say you should do those things? You're arguing with yourself.
Do you comprehend what you read? I explicitly stated that I wasn't making an argument for Windows 8. I cannot do that as I have not used the OS. The impression I got from your post, because it's what you said, is that you spent so much time trying to get the OS to work the way you wanted, and that you couldn't be bothered learning the new workflow. I can say without having used the OS, or any OS for that matter, that that's a silly way to approach a new OS.
You should have stated this from the beginning, instead of talking about how you had trouble trying to get avoid of the new features of the OS. It's a normal thing for people to think new things are bad or useless simply because they don't take the time to adapt them into a new workflow.

Welcome to ValveTime. I see you've met our resident Dragon Ball Z character and his pet dog, who seems to not want to take his Santa hat off.
Sit down, Crunch Buttsteak.
Oh god, thanks for reminded me. That JJ Abrams news post was great.
It would be a better thread if that was all that was in it.
This is an interesting new hashtag you have there. Also I hate that hastags are a thing.

Just filling in the quota for my post.
I'll be honest. The beard was the reason I picked that image in particular.
I'll bite. There's a lot of vinegar in this thread, and I don't want to get into a conversation here, but if you're serious, do PM me about it (and be patient - I check here often, but not that often). If you convince me that the Win8 start menu is better than the Classic Start menu, I'll give Windows 8 another chance.
"Cause." The word you're looking for is "cause."
