Windows Blue Confirmed in New Microsoft Job Listings

Uhh tap the windows key and start tying what you want to find or use. Couldn't be more simple, or if you like you can dick around the ui to find a file or program. Been this way since vista...

Yep, but users want to blame the os for them doing it wrong.
 
Windows 8 is basically the same as Vista, and Windows Blue will be the new Windows 7.

Try Windows Server 2012 with Metro interface. How this went through development and QA/QC without anyone saying that Metro is not suited to be a server UI is beyond me.

Windows 8 already is the new Windows 7.... ;).
 
BSODs are pretty much always hardware or driver related. Especially with the past few Windows versions.
 
I agree that blue is a very poor choice of names for a program associated to Windows.

I hope that first up on the list is the removal of Metro and the adding of a Start button.

This. What MS should have done is make the default boot mode the tried and true Desktop with a Start button and Aero for features like program tab stacking, taskbar pinning, and peek, and then given the user the option to switch to or default to the Metro tiled layout. Also would have been nice to select which style you want as default during installation/upgrade.

Selective memory is selective.WinME was a treasure trove of BSODs. Vista had plenty of issues too, though mostly relating to drivers. Windows 95 and 98 were also quite buggy, though much more pleasant than the competition at the time.

No, thank you very much for trying to revisionist history. I never used Windows ME as my main OS because I knew it wasn't good. Vista I used months after launch as my regular OS, once drivers had been fixed, and barely ever got a BSOD. Nice try though, buddy-o :rolleyes:. Keep on trollin'!
 
I actually had less BSOD in WinME then I had in 98SE, just saying. And XP pre service packs was the worse Windows OS ever.

WinME was much like vista but microsoft opted to drop it then push it like vista. After a few updates it became very stable and extremely lightweight. Only problem is win 2k became a very cheap alternate too soon. Aol the pc's I sent out with WinME didn't come back but the 98SE and XP pc's did.

ME did end up good, just forgotten. But was great for me because thr oem installs were super cheap!

Oh god no. I couldn't go back to that shitty old start menu. Aside from the run/search bar it was a useless pile of crap. The new win8 start menu is fucking bliss. Do you honestly use the win7 start menu on a regular basis? I never did, but now i use the win8 start menu all the time.

Its only real use was the search bar and maybe a few leftover pinned programs you didn't want on your taskbar. Now i have everything on my start menu, all of my favorite programs, network and local locations and about 50 or so of my steam games. Everything with a great looking easy to find 120px png tile. Its the best gui feature since pinning apps to the taskbar.
 
Seriously,
If MS continues down this twisted path of crap I will just dual boot XP and Linux and be done with it.
No phoning home no BS.

This is how I feel about it. I boot into the desktop and switch to metro when I need a program or have something in rocketdock on the desktop hidden at the top of the screen. Windows 8 is probably the best OS I've used in the last 2 decades.

I really have zero clue what all the hate is about. Basically sounds like Grandpa telling us how much more reliable horses are over cars.
