achilles Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Oh dear. As a tablet OS, Win phone 7 can be pretty good. I was particularly impressed by the dual app on screen thing they showed. Plus tiles look great on a bigger screen. As a UI shell over traditional Windows? Not so much. This may just be a bigger mistake than Vista.

Bird Bird Bird Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Just like the Playbook? Haven't seen the vids. But this one is real Windows multitasking with a huge penchant for tablets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winny29 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Seriously. Haters gonna hate. The whole things looks and works so good. I am really looking forward to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 It looks awesome, damn you haters. How long it has been since we have been used to only one kind of interface on desktops/notebooks. Someone does something different, and everyone jumps on the haters bandwagon. If it really works as smooth as MS claims it would, then I can already see a success here. I for one will be very much looking forward to this. Someone besides Apple... If Apple had done the same thing, everyone would be like OMG it changes everything, AGAIN..

Solitaire Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 So much hate tsk tsk... It doesn't look bad at all. At the very least wait for it to hit and get reviewed properly before jumping on the "Windows is sh*t" bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 ^^ +1.. All the hate from just 1 video.. FWIW, i find it pretty good in actual usage, even though I generally don't like any windows stuff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I think it will be a damn good computer OS. Might integrate many of new social networking features etc. Win 7 is pretty decent for a Windows OS. Not that I have any particular liking towards it, but it works fairly decent Tablets well not too sure. This one size fits all thing is what I'm wary about. The basic office apps need to be rewritten for touch interface (which they will i guess). @shantz Well, no one is hating, but MS has not been in the forefront today of creating new things and being on the map. Read this article? Other than the Excel demo part, which obviously should be corrected finally, other parts do make sense about the tablet form factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read this article? Other than the Excel demo part, which obviously should be corrected finally, other parts do make sense about the tablet form factor The tradeoffs that he talks about are going to be there in Win8 as well. You would see reduced complexities in the desktop OS as well and some increased complexities in the tablet OS until they find a middle ground. Isn't Apple towing the same line, albeit a lot more slowly? Same is being done in the Linux Desktop world as well. Android is moving towards the same thing too. Calling something "phail" and "fundamentally flawed" on the basis of one demo which is nothing more than a tech-sneak-peak on what's coming a few years down the line is hating, I'd say. If the demo was of a final product, MS would have been releasing it this christmas. They are still hacking away at it and haven't even reached the chipping stage yet so there is a lot more to come.

Death Stryke Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 From what I see, a desktop/laptop OS is fundamentally very different from a tablet/phone OS. There is a big line between the Its two different things, different usage situations and different power requirements. I doubt if a single OS can scale up and scale down as and when required. Could result in overkill and "under"kill situation or some interface issues in some apps. Just guessing here. Apple isn't exactly merging their desktop and moble OS'es. Atleast today. What Apple is doing is borrowing some concepts like easy deletion/addition of apps etc. Some of the simple features which can be easily adapted to a desktop OS whilst retaining the desktop OS's versatility and power. I doubt iOS will ever merge completely, unless they kill off their mac line in the future. A tablet/phone need not to do everything a desktop does, and vice versa. You think you can have a one size fits all OS? Where third party app, compatibility issues etc wont arise? Android is only restricting itself to phones and tablets. Which is fine as they have similar low power, less intensive usage. You cannot bring ICS to a desktop. Anyway, yeah this is all speculation based on today. What is the situation when this finally ships (2012?) remains to be seen. So wont count it out. but i'm not warming up to the concept either.
