So they made Windows 10 what Windows 8 should have been (I have no idea who made the decision to do that dumb metro thing. But it is a nightmare for anyone). And added things that existed in Linux since 1985?
Personally I don't mind the start menu being fullscreen. What really bugs me is how I have 2 incompatible desktops. I have my desktop which I have had since Windows 95. I then have some weird application space and jumping between the two is really unintuitive.
My bigger gripe is the name. Windows 10... It's PHP all over again.
Windows 7. Windows 8. Windows 9? No.. far to logical. Lets call it 10. Perhaps because it is 10 years since 95? I don't know. Still feels wrong.
Like PHP
PHP 3 PHP 4 PHP 5 PHP 7...............
Try 20 years since 95.
Unlike many people here, I do not know the "pulse of average people", so I really do not know how this will play out.
WinME was the successor to Win98SE and it was absolute trash.
Well, no, but the progression of the DOS-based line from 3.1 on is 3.x -> 95 -> 98 -> 98SE -> Me -> <end of line>
The NT line is NT 3.1 -> NT 3.5 -> NT 4.0 -> 2000 (which was NT 5.0 in betas) -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 8.1 -> 10
If you assume that the 2000 -> XP -> Vista series conceals two major and one minor version, then the rest of the numbers make sense (until 10).
I not sure if you are being snarky or something else but I am sure Linux was not there in 1985 and comparing Linux from 1995 to Windows 10 shows an absolute lack of understanding of Operating Systems.
has Linux existed since 1985 :-) ?
