Every new Microsoft OS is less compatible than the previous one.
I've got PC games that dont run on each successive release. Ubik didnt run on XP, Scarface wont work on 7. Plenty of other examples. Fine, if you played them, finished them, will never play them again and dont care. Yes I know about Good Old Games too before anyone mentions that one.
I dont agree with the principle that newer is always better, and you cant tell me that Microsoft giving this away is because they suddenly became an altruistic company.
But heyho, enough people queue up outside Apple Stores at midnight for The Iphone1234567 to be completely up-to-date and 'cool'. Some see fans, I see sheep.
From my experience new has always meant more modern and with technology that's usually very good. Microsoft seem to crap out every now and then, but around six months ago I decided for a laugh to install every OS I could lay my hands on (I had a 12 port Dell SATA card) and even Vista with the most modern updates was really nice.
Every one knows when a stinker is coming. 7 was fantastic it's just very old. Speed and stability wise 8 never dropped a beat for me it was just a bit fiddly to navigate but with 10 being the new 7 they've sorted all of that.
Doc. I thought long and hard about how to reply to your post but it beats me. Are you saying that you have no other redeeming qualities that people love you for? or simply that the reason people like you is because you are good at arguing on the internet?
Personally I would hope it was the former. Yes, one can meet and find friends over the internet (though other than my first disastrous marriage I don't normally partake in that sort of behaviour) and even jobs and so on, but arguing is not something people usually tend to find attractive.
I tend to stick to real life now, having had pretty much the worst experience you could really want to have finding things through the internet. I'm also happy with my friends, family and my darling lady
so I don't feel I really need to go in search of anything on the internet. I usually find people tend to smile to your face, then once they are in the safety of their own home decide to tell you what they really thought of you. As thus that sort of human behaviour isn't something I go out of my way to look for.
Any way, back to the topic.....
