Microsoft Will Die!

17 Jun 2015

I just checked out the MS Windows 10 Developer preview. It was a disaster. I know it's still not ready, but it still has the horrible "Live Tiles". I didn't like it. (I know that it still isn't finished.)

 

Windows 95, XP, and 7 were microsoft's HUGE hits. If they can't make another hit like that, I think one of these might happen:

IBM will come out of it's hiding place and continue OS/2.

BeOS Will comeback

We will all go to apple.

We will all go to Linux.

 

If Microsoft Dies, I going to Linux Mint

I've used windows all my life, and I loved it, (I have about 6 commuters all running different versions of windows, and one computer running 3 version of Linux.)

I really hope MS doesn't die image

 

I have a strong feeling ms will die. And this is what killed it:

Please let me know your thoughts in the comments.

(If MS dies I will never sleep again! Yes, I'm a Microsoft FanBoy)

    I had heard good things about Windows 10, but I have not run it yet.

     

    I agree, Windows 8.0 and 8.1 were not well developed.  Too much betting on the tablet market they forgot about the millions of us who use laptops and desk tops for work.

     

    Perhaps with Balmer gone, they will focus on their USER base instead of trying to be trendy.

    Bill settled down with his wife and kids to enjoy his well earned Billions.

     

    His vision brought an integrated solution to the chaotic home and business computer usage and he will always have my thanks.
