Microsoft is pulling the plug on Windows 7?

[SeekaX]

It's just the way you word things seems very aggressive, Others not just me have commented on it in the past when you got very offensive when someone mentioned refresh rates lol

Offensive would mean i insult people. I'd never insult anyone on this forum. I might tackle opposing opinions rather aggressively, but that's just how a discussion works. If you present your arguments weakly you can't expect people to respect them.

Good god people still talking the same old BS about Win 8 even though you have explained to them many times it isn't as bad as people make out.

Also i'm pretty sure i've said many times Quake 3 runs on Win 8

I think the main point of those against Windows 8(myself included) is why should i have to waste my time "tweaking and skinning" because some idiot a MS was under the delusion that all PC users have a touchscreen monitor or want their PC to work like a tablet.


I use 7 Ultimate on my PC and its easy to use, my dads laptop however uses 8 and both He and I have on numerous occasions found ourselves so enraged we almost shot it through a Window because in its default state basic functions like Control Panel are a pain in the butt to find in most cases requiring going through that blasted metro interface unlike 7,just thinking about that blighted O.S makes my blood boil.

I understand the want to not tweak (hence why I don't like android) however its more that people completely bitch about 8.1 because it was crap when it was 8.

A few tweaks is fine. Would I change directly from 7 to 8? no. But that doesn't mean I'd get it for a new rig. Infact thats what I'm doing :').


9 needs to hurry up, as its the same sh** with the same people each time. I thought we'd all remember each others view by now .

I was assuming Quake 3 would run like crap because CoD4 does.
It's not as bad as it used to be, but changing to Win8 if you have Win7 is just pointless. Extra work for pretty much no pay off.

That is the problem, people "assume" yet 99% of their assumptions about windows 8 aren't true CoD 4 runs ok as well, all this talk of things not working on windows 8 is mainly BS, there are the odd one or two things but nothing that there isn't a modern alternative to.
For games, if you really were that dedicated to an old game that didn't work you could always make a Window XP or Windows 7 VM and run them inside of that.

There is no point in moving from 7 to 8 unless you need to though.
I got a free key for it when it was released so it didn't cost me anything, but I wouldn't go back to windows 7 now I am on 8.
But I wouldn't not move to Windows 8 if you have the chance to, if you are happy with 7 you might as well stay with it though.

Microsoft has dated when Windows 7 support will end, with mainstream support ending in just over 6 months.

But I didn't present the facts weakly, They are facts, End of.
Note how I didn't use the word "Arguments" like you did, Again, Aggressive. You just need to lighten up a bit as I have said before people have commented on your attitude before and there's simply no need for it unless it is down to the language barrier which I hope it is.

Its hardly that bad. Honestly some people just sound aggressive on the internet. Different typing styles innit.

you can't be serious

 

[MadShadow]

I don't really think that SeekaX means to be aggressive. Its just his writing style, which is straight to the point and decisive. If he meant aggression, he would not defend himself when you, Dice, called him aggressive.

Edit: Hey, I just realized that I surpassed 1000 posts OC3D Elite Ftw

Arguments indicate aggression? Stating a fact in a discussion is just another term for argument. I am just stating facts as well, the difference is that i am not looking for a compromise but to convince the opposing side of my opinion.
As for the language barrier, the word argument has two definitions and only one of them indicates aggression.

Aggression would mean that i attacked you as a person, but i never did that.

Have you not seen the rest of his posts ? One of the most aggressive people I've seen on a forum.

Going to have to disagree with you there. Him and me don't always see eye (lol amd) to eye but that doesn't make him aggressive in my eyes. He's just a bit more blunt than most of us, no biggie .

 

[Dicehunter]

I never so much as mentioned you Cru

And it has nothing to do with opinion, again I have never said anything about someone else' opinion so please don't put words in my mouth.

I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm from Cru.

He isn't intending to sound aggressive mate, your just reading it the wrong way. That kinda thing just happens on the internet, or ant written content TBH.

The amount of times I have reread old comments of mine and though i was overly harsh, or sounded really sarcastic. It happens.

I always read things on forums in a neutral manner but it's hard to when certain comments are aggressive, As I said before other people have commented on it before not just me.
