Posted: Thu Sep 11, 2014 9:23 pmHave people not realized by now that you always skip one windows version? They are pretty consistent with this. Good version, bad version, good version, bad version.

At least they're trying. A little. Windowed apps on the desktop is a huge victory against the MS army of suck.

Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2014 2:15 amMy MBA has had two system restores, and tends to lock up if I close the lid while netflix is running. Also, the material they made the insulation on the power cord out of must have been screwed up somehow at the plant that day, because I've replaced nearly the entire length of it with black electrical tape as it flakes away. The idea of giving them a hundred bucks for a new one makes my skin crawl.
I like the laptop a lot, but the quality of it is quite a bit lower than that of the $300 compaq I impulse bought off of a pallet at Fry's in 2009, which actually is still working like the day I bought it. That being slowly...but hey. Never puts a foot wrong and gets there eventually. And the power cord hasn't disintegrated like a sugar cube on a rainy day.

Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:32 amWe'll see how Windows 9 is, hopefully its solid.
The problem MS had with Win8 is the same problem they had with the Xbone. They were trying to tell consumers what they wanted instead of listening to the consumers and working with them on what they wanted.
A lot of devs suffer from the same issue - they circle jerk each other and try to convince one another how great all the new changes are and then get terribly offended when no one likes it. MS was very resistant on the Win8 changes initially and I'm assuming some people were either let go or told they better get with the program or start looking for another job.
They still need to offer a "lite" version of the OS for slower/low spec systems though. And fix their damn tablet settings to allow for Slate PCs as well. Windows XP Tablet still the best option out there as far as Windows versions go.
