SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS What will a Windows 8 PC be? A few rough ideas: A 2.5GHz quad-core ARM chip-based Windows 8 tablet? Newfangled Windows 8 tablet-centric hybrid with slider keyboard? Motorola Atrix smartphone-with-laptop-dock kind of device? Tried-and-true clamshell laptop sporting a high-performance ARM chip? |

denzel2009: I CAN'T AGREE MORE Microsoft have the reputation of getting it wrong before they get it right. Lets hope that the good ideas they have now will be perfected (post-windows 8 ) in the 9th edition - 2015. |

denzel2009: Windows 95 wasn't rubbish. It was a Game changer. You also forgot Windows 2000. And that definitely wasn't rubbish. Your comment on 'smearing finger on the screen' is borderline m'oronic when you consider the 25 million people that bought an ipad last year. moonraker: You do realize that most Windows 8 systems will be Intel and AMD x86 CPU based? And that Microsoft has stated that the minimum requirements should be the same or less than Windows 7? All you're mentioning above is ARM processor based systems. 2 Likes |

@ Tezz texazzpete: Calm down, When its comes to system requirements and microsoft, u of all peeps shd knw that they can not be trusted. Do you know that microsoft is shifting its concept to touch screen devices?? Add the whole graphical thingy plus the usual gaming you do and tell me if the system requirements i stated have a chance to be correct or not!!! heck, windows 7 mobile gaming hasnt even be polished yet, Anyways, lets wait and see, that all i can say!!! |

texazzpete: Why do you come online chat shyt everytime? If more than 25 million people bought ipad last year, does it make it sensible for everyone to enjoy touchscreen? Have you seen anyone that solely depend on ipad without the conventional pc? For this OS to be deployed successfully, do you realize that you have to change your hardware which I don't intend doing? Most companies are just embracing windows 7 and M$ is planning on releasing a new OS in 2012, does that make sense? |

moonraker: why is microsoft always copying mac. We have had all these features in Mac for years its funny that are just gonna start appearing on windows and am pretty sure it will be buggy as usual. No thank u i will stick with my Mac Leopard |
Re: Windows 8: The Thread by nazzyon(m): 12:56pm On Jun 05, 2011 |
Funny how Nigerians react to stuffs, Most will still buy the OS, be it pirated or original copy, Or simply download and install just like I did. Though it still has lots of bugs and still has a long way to go before its final release, It isn't so bad. It is only a matter of time before it hits a market, The criticism is good sha, But I'll advice all those who feel Microsoft should step up its game to stop repeating same thing they read about in blogs, those are the opinion of tech experts, Please, find sometime to check it yourself , Report any flaws you deduce from your findings. See y'all in weeks to come 1 Like |
