I wonder if its actually going to be good, or really shit.

what are your opinions on what you have seen on windows 8?

Quoted from octochris

it will be proprietary shit like every other version of windows, there is nothing to like about it

this is not a prediction, this is a fact

sounds more like a opinion, which os do you use?

You’d be surprised. Linus Torvalds (the guy who originally started, wrote, and now manages the linux kernel) actually uses a mac.

ye macs are unix based (i think), prob a reason he uses it, or he just likes the apple marketing ;)

he runs linux on a mac, derp. i don’t understand why, but let’s not pretend he uses OSX or similar proprietary evil nonsense.

i don’t like linus very much, so no, not really. hell, i don’t even use arch linux any more due to arguing about the licensing i was using for my contributions (hello shitty GPL!).

didnt click the link then :(

i assumed it was linus. i don’t like richard stallman either (in fact GNU coreutils is the worst piece of shit known to man).

also power management is crap to.. gonna try installing crunchbag on me laptop, hopefully should save me some battery life on the thinkpad

It’s windows, it’ll be just like every other version of windows before it, inherently terrible if you pause to think about it, but generally “alright”. Oh and games.

Quite why they’re OBSESSED with their shiny interface is beyond me though. It looks like they tried to make it simple, but in doing so somehow overcomplicated it. Also it hides yet MORE features from the user which don’t need to be hidden, just put somewhere that fools can’t break them.

Oh well. Just an OS :>
