Windows 10: Microsoft CEO Nadella: 'We will reinvent productivity'

It's good that the new CEO is refocussing on productivity again. Was Bill Gates ever responsible for Windows 7? Did his legacy end with XP? All I can say is holy crap man! What with AF (advanced format) HDDs and lack of USB 3.0 support trying to screw over XP users, I'm dying for another Windows OS just as good as XP, not the bloated softwares they call Windows kernel version 6.x! It's entirely possible I might just stick with XP for as long as my current harware lasts and move out of the Microsoft ecosystem in the future, unless they get it right like Gates did again!... But I can't see that happening soon, not with Windows 9 that is still based on the post Gates kernel 6.x versions!

how do i file a complaint about ms customer service

Hi

I have had lots of problems with Microsoft customer service. It has been in steady decline over the past 5 years or so and is getting worse.

I would send a registered letter to the CEO. His contact info as of September 2017 is:

Mr. Satya Nadella

CEO

Microsoft Corporation

One Microsoft Way

Redmond WA 98052 USA

Mr. Nadella has been CEO since February 2014. If he refuses to help, I would send a letter of complaint to your local state or provincial department of Consumer Affairs and copy Mr. Nadella.

That should rattle the cages at Microsoft.

Best of luck.

Windows XP was based on the NT kernel by the way. Windows NT 5.1. Windows XP is now unsupported by Microsoft so its a use at your own risk proposition. IMHO its time to move on. Windows XP had its run and its over. No software company is going to continue to patch its legacy programs indefinitely. Windows 7 is a very popular and stable OS. Very similar to Windows XP too. You sound like your not impressed with Windows 8 so I won't go there.

 

^ I don't get it. Years before XP went EoS, I ran it for months without downloading updates. Never a problem with antivirus installed. I don't get why XP with updates till Apr 8 '14 suddenly becomes more vulnerable than the state of my PC in 2012 with automatic updates turned off!

In fact, I'm writing this post on my XP machine, which is the one I currently use the most. It's been what 3 months since EoS and I haven't encountered any problems whatsoever...

 

No, it's not just Windows 8. I'm simply not impressed with any OS that runs on kernel 6.x (Vista/7/8/9) whatsoever! Added to the fact that I friggin hate how the post-XP explorer acts like it's trying to be Linux. (I really hate that Linux-feel of the new explorer, almost like I'm using a Windows-themed Linux distro). Drives me nuts when I can't do simple things like "select all" (or at least it's not intuitive like in XP) and I hear they even removed shadow copy in 8!

 

Ok, if your not updating XP your just as unprotected now as you were then. I'm not trying to be a smart @ss by the way. Security updates patch vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities in the code that can be exploited regardless of what security software your running. Microsoft patches them when they discover them. Any new ones found now will not be patched. They will then be exploited up the ying yang. You don't even have to go to a shady web site to get got. Anyway it's not for me to lecture you or anybody else on what they can and can't do. I mention the pitfalls of doing so for anybody else reading this thread, and they can decide for them selves.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for an XP second Edition. Windows 9 is likely to be more of the same (7 & 8) and then some.

 

seeso no reason to discuss XP with anyone. . .its dead, and if someone is going to use it then I just do not find it necessary to discuss it with them. . .it really is that simple. . .*Wink
BTW eatup "Welcome to the Nine Forums.". . .*Thumbs

 

Rumor has it Productivity 2.0 Beta is already leaked to the Internet. *Tongue

 

Just give us a good OS, and leave the productivity to us.

 

I'm retired and trying to be as Unproductive as possible.

"Why". . .*Roflmao2

 

Hi there

How do you "measure" productivity -- c'mon some of you overpaid I.T "Consultants" from places like Accidenture and the like - give us some real definitions instead of "US Management speak".

I suppose you'd come out with something bovine like counting the number of keystrokes done or lines of code written, but how do you measure "productivity" when I might have a 100% world shattering invention just by looking out of the windows with a nice glass of cold beer in my hand and THINKING quietly.

It amazes me when economists and others talk about "The productivity" of the work force -- how do you measure for example when people are doing purely admin jobs that are EVENT driven and therefore UNPREDICTABLE. For example if you process 5 Death certificates on a Monday, 7 on a Tuesday and 0 on a Wednesday - does that mean "productivity" is low on a wednesday in your office. I suppose you'd have to go out and ensure more people died on a Wednesday to "Improve productivity".

For non manufacturing processes productivity is almost impossible to give any serious meaning to - and even for manufacturing processes a lot can be done by purely mechanical means such as Robots.

In an extreme case is a Soldier less productive one week because in a combat zone he has KILLED nobody ?? --

The whole concept of "productivity" is outdated and needs re-defining. - If we are still basing our national policies on this old concept of productivity - we'll NEVER get our economics right.

I suppose the Germans might come up with something - Nr of Goals scored by their team in the entire world cup -- that WAS a productive team effort. !!

Congrats Deutschland -- yours was DEFINITELY the best team for the whole competition - even though on the night of the Final your team was a bit lucky that Messi amongst others missed a couple of absolute open goals that my Grandma could probably have scored with her eyes closed. !!

Cheers
