Windows 8 is coming in 2012

[Bare Foot Kid]

We have until December 22 2012 for them to release Windows 8 and then it's the end of the world as we know it. :shock:

So I can sell the HD I have set aside for Win8, or trade it for a really cool casket

:roflmao:

So...when ya get done laughing, wanna buy a HD?
I also have a nice SSD I was saving for Win 9.

I'm think of going with the Sound Blaster option on the casket - I hate quiet.

I will be very honest here. When windows 8 comes out, i will get the boot leg version of it and dual boot with windows 7

That kind of talk gets people banned from here.

Nah everyone knows MS produce one good OS and then a rubbish one and so on and so on. 8 will probably be another Vista flop

:roflmao: I think it's gonna be another 8 years for the next good OS.

 

[Sir John]

Thats weird.

 

[Handycam]

Wow. Looking forward to it

I wish you would be wrong 8 years is very long time!! I was sick of seeing WinXP for years after years
Hope they will'nt made them sick of seeing Win 7 for 8 years...

Nicely said: For the beta testers like us, a new OS every six month is good ...

I forgot who said it in this forum,about different versions of RC (unofficial) "I have never downloaded so many versions of any os in my life".....those days around March April this year was great...we can hope for such many "leaked" versions of Win 8...

Win 8 RC ver 8100.2010.27.04 ????

Brian, I too feel that it is way too early to talk about a new OS. But forget about the bootlegging, it will get you into hot water. With Linux, you can download and make all the copies for all of your friends that you want. Not so with Windows. And that's part of what makes software costs so much for all of us honest ones. We're paying for the freeloaders. About 20% of Windows software is counterfeit. I myself was a victim of counterfeiting, making a cheap eBay purchase for XP Pro. But I got my money back, thanks to eBay's anti-counterfeit policy. You probably was joking, and your apology is accepted. But the joke wasn't funny, and because of "bootlegging", we're all paying more than we should have to.

 

[Abhishek Ghosh]

About counterfeiting , catilley1092 , you are right. I also bought a copy of such "cracked" games CD unknowingly.Even I did not got the money back after sending back that piece to the seller.After that I avoid Ebay for atleast software purchase.

No 1 Rule for Purchasing Software On line ....

If the deal looks to good to be true - It probably is

and the free gifts can take a lot of work to remove

Hi Barman58
By 2012 hopefully I'll be enjoying retirement and using computers will be the LAST thing on my mind.

I'll enjoy the London Olympics -- I unlike the "locals" think the UK will actually put on a good show - although the transport will be even more chaotic and hopeless than it is in London at the moment -

I'm off to the final of that great O2 Tennis tournament in the old "Greenwich Dome" on Sunday -- and you've guessed it - No Jubilee tube "due to Engineering" - and this is almost a brand new line - broken already and the other train alternatives aren't also working - so a week before the Copenhagen talks UK government has been rabitting on about I and a friend have to take an "environmentally unfriendly" taxi both ways.

After the Olympics -- some nice Golf, Whisky, Beer and Beaches. - No more computers - bliss.

Cheers
jimbo

You get the death sentence for this crime...

Hi Zidane24
when you work with them it's nice to not have to deal with them any more at a professional level.

When I'm on vacation I don't even bother with a Mobile any more -- If I have to make an emergency call - and I haven't had to yet -- I can always "buy" a cheap Pay as you go.

If anybody needs me its incumbent on THEM to find ME - I'm not being tethered to THEM like a goat on a piece of string.

People say "How can you manage" without one

Easy -- just go into a typical Restaurant -- look at most of the tables -- how many people do you see fiddling with phones texting / emailing etc even if not actually calling from them.

Meanwhile our party is enjoying the food, wine and conversations.

OT I know - but 2012 -- some peole STILL think its the end of the world so might as well enjoy until then.

Cheers

(Now it's Breakfast time -- that's the only good thing about doing Saturday overtime --love the "English Greasy spoon full breakfasts - hot greasy bacon, eggs etc).

You will have to forgive me but I was a child of the technology surge throughout the 90s and 2000s...

Computer are in my blood...take mine away and it would be like stabbing me in the heart. Same goes since it is my profession also...I wouldn't be caught doing anything else...
