Appqrently Microsoft thinks all us Windows 10 user's want Windows 10 S more than Windows 10 and our desktop programs/software that work's better, might I add much better than any of Microsoft's Modern App's. Funny article to prove this Microsoft lame claim. Microsoft expects the 'majority of...

‘“What are you wearing, Cortana?” he asks, like he’s in a shit version of the film Her’. Cortana replies: “A phone. Like it?” Clean Bandit, the Cambridge-educated group who looked at dance music and thought, “What this needs is more violins”, redefine cringe-worthy in this new ad for Cortana. In...

It's annoying enough that so many software makers are going to the flat plain look of Windows 8. That is an icon that used to look like a ball now just looks like a dot. Everything seems to be going that direction. The worst is the local radar map they use on the TV Weather channel. The state...

Since I got the feeling that some on the forum might have bitten on the AA bait, I thought I should post this video to counter it:

Microsoft MVP Ross Cameron, Microsoft MVP Mike Fara, and Windows 8 Forums' Administrator and Cooler King Michael Myles, come together to host, discuss, evaluate, and explain the Microsoft Windows 8 operating system to each other and the broader audience at large. We talk about the Metro UI Start...

Windows 8 is doing significantly worse than Microsoft's biggest failure, Windows Vista... Source: Yahoo! News

Well so far the commercials through the first quarter were not funny or impressive to say the least.

I read this article today and just wondered what others thought? Do you agree with the sentiments given in the article or no? Personally I feel that this guy sat down and used Windows 8 for around a minute and a half. Anyone who has explored the new interface knows that it can easily be...

I've watched, waited and read literally hundreds and more likely thousands of posts, both here and elsewhere across the the internet, regarding opinions both pro and con as a result of folks dipping their virtual toes into the arguably troubled waters that is the Windows 8 Metro UI. I listen to...

Do you have cold feet about going it alone with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview? You don't have to. Join me in a rational exploration of Windows 8 Consumer Preview. About 45 minutes in length, the video gives you a first hand look at the aesthetics and readily apparent features of Windows 8 CP...

If you haven't seen the video or heard the news, watch this first. Then we'll discuss. (Please visit the site to view this media) All done? Good. My first reaction to this video was, “Oh my god, they nerfed Windows 8 in a desperate attempt to hump Apple's leg.” The new format is clearly designed...

Now, I realize that there are bloggers out there that will take Microsoft to task over something they have done, or poke fun at Microsoft, in order to get pageviews. Some do it when it is justified, or when seems funny at the moment (we’ve done both) and then there are those like MG Siegler...

# tablets There's no way Windows 7 tablets aren't going to suck. We're going to see a lot of them this week. And they're going to suck. More » More...

I keep hearing about Windows tablets. Steve Ballmer got up on stage with an HP slate at last year's CES, and nobody was particularly impressed. Now we're hearing rumors that he'll give it another shot this year, perhaps even revealing a bit about Windows 8 (I don't think that's likely, given...

I have consistently criticized Microsoft's soft-headed Vista operating system as lousy, slow, prone to crashes and downright unproductive. After enduring one frustration after another, I finally pulled the plug and replaced my desktop and laptop Link Removed

Trying to use Windows 7 on a tablet shows that while it may be a touch-screen OS, it is not a tablet OS - and there is a difference Though some might find this surprising, it pains me to write a negative review. I know what it's like to labour over something and discover that it doesn't come up...

A couple months short of my first anniversary here at Windows 7 Forums and without a doubt, it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I have had the opportunity to learn so much and I hope, to have helped a few members as well as visitors along the way. I know to some, I'm still relatively...

Microsoft chief operating officer Kevin Turner skewered Apple's missteps with the iPhone 4 in his talk at the Windows Partner Conference today. He noted that Windows Phone 7 devices shouldn't have problems with holding the phone and likened the iPhone 4 to Microsoft's own experiences with...
