Microsoft to stop producing Windows version
- Thread starter SimonMac
- Start date
Fact : OSX is in no way superior to Windows.
The command line in P.O.S.OS is a hopeless anachronism and the only reason for relying on it is the various GUI implementations for P.O.S.OS are so poor people give up on using them.
If you have to use a command line than Windows PowerShell ISE is ten times better than Bash being hugely modernised over that excressence.
Virtual desktops are a nightmare on OSX with new windows appearing in seemingly random desktops, inadequate navigation between desktops and hopeless ditto between windows in different desktops. I defy any normal person to use multiple desktops for 2 weeks before turning them back off. Certainly I did that. The day Windows implements multiple desktops without an off switch is the day I stop defending them in public.
To repeat : Neither OSX nor any other version of P.O.S.OS is in any way better than Windows and the UI for these hateful and appalling OS's is very much worse.

I've used W8.1 which is fine. It definitely benefits from the use of Classic Shell though, wouldn't want to use it bare. A recent contract this year landed me a client notebook with WS8.1 installed, after a rapid download of CS I was good to go with no problems. I'd far sooner have a client give me W8.1 than P.O.S.OS on a machine.

There is hardly any difference in them, you start it up, you choose the program you want to run and run it. I don't spend any time whatsoever using the OS really and most major applications will run just as fast on each one.
You have to be a merkin to argue that one is better than the other.
Apple's build quality was far in advance of anything MS could offer for a long time but Samsung matched them eventually and the rest have caught up, the surface is a fantastic product.
But, office is by far and away the better business product suite and if you want to buy into the full shebang like I have the xbox/phone/surface/desktop/office365 then MS is the better overall offering I think.
But that is just me.

Will you be able to play games in UHD on it too.
Yay, looking forward to it already.
