It goes like this........
How long before we can be rid of 32bit? or Flash? When will 64bit Flash be ready, completely?
Why can't Java just seriously go away for good?
Answer: Because it is not forced on people.
Change can sometimes be difficult, but not always for the worse. And Win8.x is not for the worse at all.
If everyone was relegated to using the Desktop by Default, trust me, You wouldn't see App development for Windows like we have.
The full blown integration of Windows across platforms is very innovative. Who else is doing this? Nobody.
If MS can pull this off, and I think they can. Andriod and Chrome are done. (They should be anyway, sorry, Chrome is garbage)
iPhone's and Apple haven't innovated anything since the iPhone first came out. it's old tech by today's standards. Yeah, a slight bit more polished in some areas, but they had how many years so far?
WP, Win8, Xbox and all, across laptops/desktops/tablets? And people do not call that innovative? Or can't get the concept?
Again, I have said for many years now, it's was time to get rid of 32bit and force 64bit Only. Yet here we are, still having 32bit stuff being developed.
That won't change till it is forced on the communities and dev's to change.
And there is nothing wrong with Win8 start screen, it is actually easier and better than the old Start Menu.
And if you have problems clicking or setting to go to Desktop, then you seriously need to get more help than anyone can provide.
