Yes indeed, Chrizz is trolling, no doubt about that. :horse:
Chrizz: You really have to get your head around this.
The Amiga principle is to do as much as possible with the available resources, to squeeze out every last drop of performance from the hardware. MS is the opposite. The future direction of computing must surely go towards lean applications running incredibly quickly on fast machines rather than MS bloatware forcing you to build ever faster machines (and then running just as slowly as the older software/OS did on the older hardware = no net gain AND no money in your pocket).
Now, what did I use a computer for ten years ago ?
1. Web browsing and email
2. Writing letters and faxes
3. Viewing and modifying photographs
4. Playing games
And what do I use a computer for now ?
1. Web browsing and email
2. Writing letters and faxes
3. Viewing and modifying photographs
4. Playing games
Spot the similarity ? Why would I need a new Windoze OS to do this when I can already do it ? Why would I then want to spend £1000+ to build a pc fast enough to run the new OS, after finding that the new OS is so bloated that it will not work with all eye candy turned on, on my present 1Gb/3Ghz machine ?
Consider this: How will MS entice people like me to spend money on something that I know I already have ? Doesn't sound like a good business model to me :lol:
I'd rather have a :pint:
