Windows 10: Microsoft Employee Reveals New Windows 9 Details

The thing I find interesting about topics like this one is the reaction of some that if MS does this I going to jump to Linux. I figure (just an opinion) that if all the individuals out there who have made this statement then 1) why haven't they and 2) why isn't Linux's OS base jumped to say somewhere around at least 50% of all desktop systems in the world. . .*Rolleyes

 

You are kind of jumping the gun, aren't you Lee? I doubt you will see more desktop users move to Linux or other OS's, until MS actually moves to a cloud OS and support for their current Windows OS runs out. Until then, whats the rush? I for one don't want to make the move, but I will if MS doesn't give me a choice.

 

Why? Is the Cloud 9 out yet? Why would people move to Linux now?
China is brewing something up, and maybe if this Linux based Windows XP is released, Microsoft will start losing business:

Hahaha,,, right,, Like I am going to use any OS that is dev'ed and released from Communist (will have zero issues with spying on anyone) China.

Holy cow, are you freaking insane?

If this is not enough to make you run,,, then I don't know what is...

"The local government has apparently found a solution to move users off Windows XP by developing its own Linux-based alternative...."

 

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! It would same that maybe I just wasn't clear in my post. I basically stated that if all the people who have stated that if MS didn't do what they wanted then MS was in trouble because "THEY" would move to Linux, and I stated if this was so then why wasn't Linux user base at least at 50%. . .*Thumbs

 

Wow! how paranoid can you get? You are over reacting. It doesn't take chinese programmers to worry about spying or hacking. Microsoft has been having security issues recently. Any country can spy on anyone anytime they want to. And why would you worry about China spying on you? Who are you? *Smile

Anyways, just something to talk about. Nothing really to argue about.

If the Cloud OS happens, one big issue would probably like the one that happened recently with Adobe's "Creative Cloud" when it went offline. There was a big loss in productivity among designers. Imagine that happening to the backbone of anyone's business....

Microsoft stopped caring / noticing / being bothered about what society is ready for or wants a long time ago.

 

Haven't followed W9 news in a while. Interesting points from everyone.

If MS goes cloud then I'm moving to Mac...

 

I wouldn't be too hasty to commit to that. mac will inevitably have to follow the trend

 

No commitment, just saying...

 

Hello Big Guy, as a OS X user, and a Mac user for going on thirty years there is and has been quiet talk of the Mac OS going in this direction for some time now. Mac OS X is coming to the end of its run, hence the talk of what Apple is going to do with the OS. Is it going to move to OS XI or go with a whole do name and theme. We of the OS X and Apple community are like the MS community waiting with baited breathe to see what direction Apple is going to go. . ., so you may want to take a wait and see position before making any major decision whether to move to a Mac.

 

Again, no commitment. Just pointing out that I will drop MS if they make my computing experience unpleasant.

 

I'm surprised they missed that catchy marketing name. Now that you've posted it we are probably doomed! How can they resist producing a Cloud OS named "Cloud 9" now? The cat is out of the bag.

 

I would just go back to Win 7 or stick with 8.1. I have never seen the need to upgrade my OS when a new version comes out.

 

If it goes to cloud, I will actually like Windows 8 better. That means more personal data selling, which many big companies may or may not do. At least by then I will be living in Korea that has 100mbps in most places so being cloud based would not be a problem in terms of speed, unless they only have servers in America, which means horrible ping.
