All Windows users should be very worried about what is going to happen to them if Windows 8 ever goes out on sale to the public. As most Windows users are just average home computer users and some others like me have limited experienced with computers. And can only just about manage to use a computer anyway.
And most people are using Windows and only know Windows and don't know how to use anything else.So all Windows users including myself are not going to be able to use Windows 8 if it comes out.
As Windows 8 is-THE OPERATING SYSTEM THAT NOBODY CAN USE. And even experienced computer geeks cannot use it or figure out how to use it. And if Windows 8 comes out they may stop selling Windows 7 like they did with Windows XP and Windows Vista. And then we will be forced to buy Windows 8. And we will be stuck with it.
And because most of us cannot use Linux or Mac at least I cannot.We may have to give up using a computer.If the only Windows operating system there is is Windows 8 and they stop selling Windows 7.
So my friends suggest we write a letter to our President or Prime Minister on these lines-
If enough people protested to their governments about Windows 8,then Windows 8 will be banned from the market and we will all be safe with Windows 7.
And we might even get Windows XP,Windows Vista and Windows 2000,98 and 95 back on the market again. Which are all NORMAL Windows operating systems. Not this Windows 8. Windows 8 is THE OPERATING SYSTEM THAT NOBODY CAN USE. Andrea Borman.
Are you serious? I can understand why you like Windows 7, it's a fantastic OS.
But when you were running XP, did you feel the same way with Windows 7 Beta was emerging? The reason that I ask this, is because there are those, and plentiful, who are "afraid of change". There are those who will run XP until either the wheels fall off, or until those users can no longer obtain a computer that can run XP, for this very reason. Many of them feels the same way towards Windows 7 as you do towards Windows 8. And that's OK, as we are free (in most countries) to run what we want.
However, reverting back to OS's that wasn't released in this century (Win 95 & 98) is impractical for daily use. I feel that Windows 8 will improve, give us the choices as to what our desktop looks like, and will run many programs that we currently use. I had it installed, and many of the softwares that we use today works fine. I'm not crazy about the Start Menu not popping up by a click, but you can pin the Control Panel to the taskbar, just as we can with Windows 7, to access settings.
Windows 8 is in it's infancy. It's way too early to judge the OS when we haven't as much as seen the Beta yet. And as far as buying it goes, I doubt that I will, because Windows 7 has all that I need.
But to go out on a limb and create a petition, attempting to gain government intervention to block sales of the OS & the computers it's installed on, is going a bit too far. If you don't want to run Windows 8, then simply don't run it. No one is twisting your arm to do so.
This is the very same deal that we endure every 3 years or so, is those who wishes to stay in the past, and those stating that the latest Windows is incompatible with their computers (that's somewhat true, Win 7 won't run well on those that were built to run XP w/o modifications). But it's mainly those who are in a comfort zone who stays put. These users don't want to relearn.
One thing that you won't have to worry about is Windows 7 going away. More than likely, Windows 7 will be the next XP, when the support is nearing the end, users will hang on as long as possible. That's because Windows 7 is that good. Don't worry about Windows 8, 7 is going nowhere for years to come.
Just don't break your "F11" button, and you'll be fine.
