That's what worries me about the future and why my hopes on Windows 9 are slim. They should be apologizing for the turd, blaming Sinofsky and uncle Fester for the debacle, and promising us to bring back what we want ASAP. Instead they keep pretending that Tiles 8 is a marvellous success, and keep …

Well regardless of what they may think at the top of MS ivory towers people do care. A lot. A funny example: "Help your friends and family get off Windows XP" ^ The attempt to shepherd from XP to Tiles 8 backfires badly. The comments are priceless 🤣 .

... I see no need to replace it with this! (pic of tiles for retards) The reason is that the Metro crap is the bait to capture and imprison you in what MS intends to be its own version of Apple's walled garden. That's why one faction inside MS is so bent on destroying the classic desktop interface …

Whatever you do jwt27 don't touch that Tiles 8 piece of crap not even with a ten-foot pole. I'll just quote Paul Thurrott a few days ago: ... Windows 8 is not well-designed. It's a mess.

I have a Gigabyte P35-DS3R mobo that I overclocked a Q6600 on and didn't think about how the my tower heatsink had removed VRM …
