Win8 finnst mér svo algjört heaven, ég veit ekki hvernig er að keyra það á low-end vél

Microsoft is attempting to use its pervasiveness in the desktop/laptop market to force its
way into the mobile device market. Homogeneous operating systems and interface style between
applications/devices in theory leads to greater user familiarity, which (also in theory) leads to higher
market share/sales for the underperforming product.

Basically Microsoft was attempting to make people want things like the Surface and phones running
Windows Mobile because they worked the same as their computers at home. What they failed to
consider is that people absolutely HATE change in interfaces, they hate it with the rage of a million
suns. Even a simple tweak like hiding the File/Edit/View menubar until you press alt led to an
enormous number of extra support tickets for business users, hours of time googling for why/fixes for
personal users, and probably injected a good few thousand unnecessary dollars into the
elderly/fucking dumb market for technical support vendors.

When you change an interface, you can't change a certain usability to a different but equal usability.
In order for users to accept it, you MUST trump the older interface in terms of simplicity and ease of
access. Consider the change from keyboards to mice - mice allowed immediate and minimal-
knowledge cursor movement and menu navigation (keyboard is still faster, but requires memorisation
of shortcut keys and menu structures that the mouse simply does not). The change from keypad
input to touchscreen input on mobile devices is another example of a big change, but with a huge
increase in usability to offset the resistance to that change.

When Microsoft changed the Windows interface, they added nothing to the desktop experience.
Absolutely fucking nothing. Even if you assume people are operating under circumstances where
they 1) own a touch screen monitor and 2) Are able to comfortably and efficiently use that touchscreen
monitor, both of which are going to be incorrect a lot of the time, if not most, it still imposes a
learning curve on the userbase for a net gain of nothing. That sounds to me like a pretty shitty
investment on the part of the user. And for all of the people saying "Oh but you can install xyz and
get your start menu back and disable metro" gtfo. I can not do that, keep windows 7, and not have
to deal with any of the bullshit. It is literally a net loss for anyone used to the old interface to touch
windows 8 with a 10 foot pole.

So what it boils down to is: Microsoft have huge market share in the desktop and laptop markets.
They are attempting to leverage that market share into market power, to force their way into a
mobile device market dominated in an historically unparalleled way by iOS and Android. They are
acting all surprised when they learn that market share doesn't translate to market power as easily as
they had hoped, and that acting to the detriment of their users is going to see users reject such
products.

I don't know enough about Microsoft's people to make a call on it, but I really hope that with a
change of CEO Microsoft can have a good hard look at just how angry they have made their users,
and how all it will take is one of either a cheaper entry-level Apple laptop, Apple releasing a
hardware-agnostic operating system, or a company with the initiative to properly package up a
stable, simple and idiot proof linux distro before they watch their desktop/laptop market share
evaporate.

Cisco SDM var samt með bögga en það lagaðist með e'h critical update fyrir löngu síðan...

En er hægt að kaupa Win8 sem retail leyfi (ss. leyfi sem virkar á fleyri en eina tölvu - ekki í einu samt) eða er bara uppfærsla í boði?

getur fengið bæði Win 8 og 8.1 í Retail leyfi að sjálfsögðu

Hvað ertu að gera með SDM. Varla þörf á því á litlu heimili

Ok ég fékk mér 8 á föstudaginn og er búinn að vera venjast því. Skelfilegt fyrst, en um leið og öll update-in voru komin og ég gat uppfært yfir í 8.1 þá verð ég bara að taka undir með Viktori, þetta er algjört HEAVEN!

Þvílík og önnur eins snilld hefur ekki sést í Windos stýrikerfi frá upphafi.

Ég bara skil ekki hvernig fólki getur ekki líkað við þetta. Það er svo auðvelt að keyra þetta alveg eins og Windows 7 ef maður vill. Það vantar bara start menu, sem ég var í rauninni nánast alveg hættur að nota hvort sem er.

Ég náði t.d. í app sem heitir Spotlite. Þar get ég spilað Spotify playlistana sem ég hef búið til. Dró það til hægri og þá er hluti af skjánum með spotify playlistann uppi og basic takka til að stjórna tónlistinni og síðan er ég með desktoppið hinum megin. Á 16:9 widescreen böggar þetta mann ekki neitt.

Þetta er ekkert minna en snilld! Mæli með þessu.

hvað kostar win 8 í uppfærslu ?
