Windows 8 New Logo Confirmed by Microsoft

[JerometheGiraff]

Windows9 will be no more windows, no more squares but just, the words "Win9". Thereafter W10.

Perhaps Microsoft Portals?

Windows9 will be no more windows, no more squares but just, the words "Win9". Thereafter W10.

I guess it will be "WX" :shock:

 

[BarnabasSackett]

I think that I like the Window 1 logo better, the new one is just dumb.

This is why the original logo matters--it's found in real life

Hahaha - good one Arkhi

You are missing the message that MS is trying to convey. That picture is the old logo with a curtain hiding the view. The new logo has the curtain pulled back to reveal a new glorious day.

The original Windows 1 logo is better, everything is going backwards, and this doesn't just go for windows.

I wouldn't be surprised. As "smart" as each generation is supposed to be, I think too many things have to be "dumbed" down now.

I seriously doubt this logo will be on the finished product...period.
Peruse the Vista Forum archives for all the guesses of what Win7's logo would be...not even close.

Sadly this has already been publicly announced by Microsoft :/

We're likely stuck with it unless something pretty heroic happens

remember, 95,98, me were hybrid 16/32bit kernel

windows 2000 and up were bases on the NT 4.0 32 bit kernel

run winver

NAME = Ver
windows 2000 = 5.0
windows xp = 5.1
vista = 6.0
7 = 6.1
8 (prolly) = 7.0

 

[arkhi]

8 is actually 6.2

I don't think this younger generation, those under roughly 22-24 are smarter. They've made them believe they are smarter by dumbing down many things.

That is hilarious

one of Pentagram's designers, Paula Scher, asked the question, "Your name is Windows. Why are you a flag?"

You see? You have to be a genius to be a designer.

8 is actually 6.2

Or Vista 2.0

Finally had to break down and load it up. Navigating with a mouse is a learning effort. After you get the hang of it, it's not too bad. What is irritating is IE 10. It's worse than IE 9. Fire it up and you get a blank screen with a HUGE address bar at the bottom. Lots of errors in the Log too. Things I don't recognize.

Also, can't seem to get audio. Virtual Box couldn't do anything with the Intel chip set and apparently, doesn't recognize the Realtek drivers. It also doesn't recognize my IR receiver or TV card. Bummer.

1. Windows 3.1
2. Windows 95
3. Windows 98
4. Windows ME
5. Windows 2000
6. Windows XP
7. Windows, uhh 7

You actually forgot to add Windows NT to that list. It was released shortly after Windows ME, I think. Or even after Windows 2000. You forgot Vista, too.

A history of Windows - Microsoft Windows

Yup, I have been reminded of leaving Vista out. Don't know how that could happen. :sarc:

I enjoyed this from the History of Windows...what an understatment, lol.

Windows is increasingly used at work and home and now includes games like Solitaire, Hearts, and Minesweeper. An advertisement: “Now you can use the incredible power of Windows 3.0 to goof off.”

Really bad Logo
