Any technology that MS ties to windows 10 only is going to be utterly stillborn. If DX12 doesn't come to windows 7, that will be the official end of Direct3D.

OpenGL and Lua technologies will take over the rest of the people who don't just buy a dumbox and play games on it! We shall truly have the same exact freedom we had in 1993 (only with more ram).

Prettz posted:as totally awful as OpenGL is, it is still within microsoft's power to completely kill off d3d they are currently building a completely new, modern graphics API to replace OpenGL that will probably appear before Windows 10 and run on older versions of Windows in addition to other platforms, so there may not be any reason to use DX12 outside of their failing Xbone platform and apps for the stillborn winphone.

Personally, I am sticking with Windows 7 until I need to swap, mainly because most of the programs I use for work won't run on Windows 8 due to some issues with the .net framework. I figure, by the time the swap is necessary, the company that makes the software will update the program enough to work on the newer version.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH There is still stuff that runs on mission critical servers that REQUIRE a certain custom version of IE6 and a custom version of Java. Companies are cheap asses when it comes to upgrading.

orangesampson posted:HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH The program was originally built in xp, I think, and basically when installed in Windows 8 it seems that Windows refuses to recognize the .net framework on it at all and says that it is impossible to run or use before automatically closing it. In order to get it to function, you have to go through a lot of editing and, for a lack of better terms, "tricking" Windows 8 into realizing that the .net framework can be backwards compatible. Sadly, even that entire process is spotty. The company that produces the software knows it is an issue, and they released a patch for it, which didn't work on about 50% of the systems it was used on, hence why they discussed the editing fix. I have a stable version of the software on Windows 7 and I really don't have the time to constantly follow every up and down with trying to make it work while trying to get the research I am working on done. I get the feeling that the software producer will just release a completely new version instead of another revision of the current program, or the issue with the framework was just an early bug in Windows 8 (although, this was the only program I had heard of having that issue). Regardless, the IT won't actually give enough of a drat to figure it out, so their fix is "it works in 7? Then you will have to run 7, we really don't care enough to make it work on 8, and it will save us cash on not having to upgrade to 8". Which, is fine for the university as a whole, but for the students having to run it on their own computers, which all seem to come with 8, it is a bit more of an issue.

I use windows, and when a new version comes out everyone enthusiastically upgrades except for people with old hardware, or weirdos. Compare that to mac users. They're so dysfunctional that a good majority of them declare they won't upgrade because the company that makes their OS is astoundingly terrible. oh wait did I get those two reversed sorry lol I do that sometimes

Serious thought: Data security policies of all major companies would probably categorise this amount of "analysis" of sensitive or basically any files under ownership of the company as a violation of security. Even Microsoft themselves would probably throw a hissy fit if anyone did that to their corporate files. So how is this OS ever going to sell to corporate customers?
