• What would you like to see in future versions of Windows?
Info on where to send your responses to any or all of the above questions here.
Awfully nice of a computer newsmagazine to do M$’ customer feedback surveys. Let’s hope Apple will keep MacOS cutting edge compared with whatever comes out of Redmond.
I forgot this beauty.
What would you like to see in future versions of Windows?
– I’d like to see the opening Windows logo (and screen saver) use a decent logo. The current dithered image is terrible!!
MacDude,
Thanks for that video. It’s amazing to hear Jobs talk about NeXT and how similar it is to Mac OS X. Actually, I should say that Mac OS X is very similar to NeXT.
Windows, unsafe, spyware ridden, always gets in your face when you don’t want it to. Does things its way instead of how the user would do it.
I use OSX and a Mac at home which keeps me sane and happy. Windows keeps me employed because it’s so bad that users need support every minute of the day. I work as a desktop technician. There not world dominant anymore and are going down hill fast. OSX is now the best OS because it has none of the above mentioned flaws.
Less suckage would be a good start.
I think Windows is crap. You had to ask.
I would like to have a Stop button next to start. Everytime I use Windows I have to search all my Windows books to find out how I have to shutdown my machine. Most of the time I just leave it on, so it will crash.
MW: Show BG some “respect” for achieving a monopoly with an insanely cheap ripoff product.
I think Bill Gates should quit thinking he can write good software and shut down that heap of junk and find something else to do.
The world will be a much better place without that virus known as Microshit!
Only then can technology really move forward!
Surely the secret here is to respond and say how great windows is. Already happy with it, please don’t change a thing. No need to mention that the reason is because we all use macs, just let those complacent, arrogant bastards think that everything is hunky dory.
I can’t wait for Apple to license Mac OS X. And they will one day, it’s inevitable.
I have been using Windows for a really long time.
And to be very honest, I felt it became worse with every release, with Windows 98 being the worse of the lot.
I still use Windows, but only at work and out of sheer compulsion.
Now I am a happy Mac user when I am not at work and I got everything I ever wanted from an OS (with some few, but acceptable annoyances).
But Windows let me down and helpless on a number of occasions, again and again.
If I were to choose a version of Windows, I would pick Windows 3.11 Workgroup on any day.
I wish Microsoft added USB support among other things (they added to XP) to this wonderful little OS.
3.11 is my the best Windows I ever used. I miss it very much.
