To be totally honest I can see what is going here and not understanding humour isn't the issue.
Then again I don't think we need a huge multi page argument about how different tones sound aggressive to various people.
If seekaX says he isn't being aggressive but to whoever it is it sounds aggressive I'd take it as a misconception of tone and would remember this in the future. Mistakes happen.
/end of discussion.
Back on topic I actually use metro a little on my touch screen laptop and its crap. The only really nice thing about 8 and touchscreens imo is how accurate it is. Its easily on par with iOS/Android.

I guess I'm in a similar situation, as my dads Scottish, and my moms Dutch. Anyways, this thread is meant to be about Windows
Have you not seen the rest of his posts ? One of the most aggressive people I've seen on a forum.
Just let it go, Calm down, Breath and you will be ok
I've been calm all the way. All i ever do is respond to your arguments, at the moment you are far more aggressive than i've ever been because instead of responding to my arguments you try to make me look like that angry basement dweller which gets mad over internet arguments.
There are multiple people in this thread already which backed that i've shown no aggression towards you, unless you can actually quote a post in which i've shown aggression i think this whole farce should end.
Isn't that based on the accuracy of the screen rather than the OS?

It's generally the germanic people that are very cold and fighty where as the scotts and irish are happy and fighty lol ^_^

Well it is a lenovo
slight brand loyalty aside, windows 7's touchscreen features are very basic and you can't do nearly as much. my main comparison is when I was tasked to downgrade a touchscreen hp running windows 8 pro to windows 7. Windows 7 lacks decent multi touch support and is very clunky without some modifications.

I'm going to have to partially agree with the argumentative sod that is SeekaX . My main rig is Windows 7 and will be for as long as possible. Everything runs nice, it's tuned using all the performance guides, it's stable with my overclock, and it's regularly imaged so I can get back to a known state should I have cause to. I know where everything is and how things work. It's my kinda normal.
However, for the past few weeks I've been using Windows 8.1 on my Surface Pro 3 and Windows 8.1 is fook'n magic. Windows 8.1 was made for this tablet/laptop, it's just so natural to use. If I can find a windows explorer app that I like (and other Office programs would use as default) for it I doubt I'd ever "go behind" the Metro curtain. Seriously. I have no need to tune, overclock, or play games on it.
This'll make you laugh - I connected the Surface up to my main monitor by display port to see what Windows 8.1 was like on a big screen. I actually caught myself trying to swipe and select stuff by touching the monitor! Using a mouse for Windows 8 is like using a fork in a fancy Chinese restaurant, know what I mean?

Man a tablet designed around an operating system is actually very good with said OS.

"so Microsoft have 5 years to make an OS to please the current Windows 7 fanbase. "
MS haven't got to make anything to please anyone, when 7 goes they will have to upgrade. regardless if they like it or not there is no where else for them to go.
unless wine magically gets fully working with everything.
rolling along in my epic train of thought...
How long to do you reckon it will take till M$ do a yearly subscription based Windows and one expensive long term support for business?

well, let's just wait and have a cup of tea or two...considering how long it took ms to stop xp-support i wouldn't really be concerned right now...
from an industrial pointiert view most enterprises have just recently upgraded to windows 7 so it's likely they won't upgrade in the next couple of years...

I do not agree at all that Windows 8 is broken, actually I would say that it is the other way around. I have had serious problems with Windows 7, there is a reason that I passed to 8. Like you I didn't saw why I should even bother using Windows 8, but then that happened! I have two accounts; one for me and one for my little brother, mine is the administrator account and I had a password. It happened that one night is was working and the next morning apparently the file that contained my password was corrupted. Though luck. So I decided to give a chance to Windows 8.1 and all of this thanks to this strange problem that Windows 7 gave me. I must say that I'm pretty happy with it and I use the stock skin. It feels comfortable, maybe because it in some way reminds me of Android, not how it looks, but how it works.

errr...
There is a fix for that. I've done it a few times for customers. You just have to redo a couple of registry keys in safe mode.
Well after reading the minor dispute over the last few pages, I decided it was time "THE CAN" came out! Don't make me open it!
