Apple skipped from Final Cut 7 all the way to Final Cut 10, or X as they put it, so they are the bigger monsters in my opinion.

Dunno, I'd accept Windows X a little easier than Windows 10. Also the world is dumb. This probably gets them in even more headlines than usual and doesn't really do any damage if the product is good.

I once gave the theory that every other major release of Windows is decent, Windows 98 was ok then Windows ME sucked then Windows 2000 was ok or sucked or something then Windows XP was good then Windows Vista sucked then Windows 7 was ok now Windows 8 sucks so they're going to skip the good one and go right back to suck so good going Microsoft.

Microsoft already got its knuckles rapped in Europe over some media player bullshit, having Martin Schulz say "WINDOWS? NEIN!" and giving Apple a 1000-year OS-Reich is probably not their scene.

Maybe if the versioning got too high it would be confusing with Windows 9.5 and Windows 95. Also Windows X is a little too close to Windows XP. I'm just playing devils advocate and thinking logically like Microsoft. lizardhunt fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Sep 30, 2014 |

I like that the new start menu is still 70% tileworld by surface area. Win7 still superior.

i still cant get over how funny it is that some marketing shitheads named that new console the xbox one in their brilliantly out of touch plan to get everybody to call it "the one" and instead it has settled on "xbone"

Should have called it Windows XP 2nd edition.

Tricky D posted:gently caress off Microsoft. No one wants to update the OS every year. If you actually look into why they're calling it Windows 10, it's to signify that this is the last windows ever and that rather than roll out new OS updates they'll constantly update your client. Which is one of the most retarded ideas they've come up with. Can't wait for business poo poo to break because windows update pushed out some new functionality to everyone. Can't wait to watch my client slowly transform through something like Vista.

how the gently caress old is this guy with this loving haircut windows 10 year old screamo haircut

Here's the articlequote:Microsoft went instead with Windows 10 because they wanted to signify that the coming Windows release would be the last "major" Windows update. Going forward, Microsoft is planning to make regular, smaller updates to the Windows 10 codebase, rather than pushing out new major updates years apart. With the Xbone being a failure and this being the 'last major update' I wonder how the hell Microsoft plans to make money?
