You can be the second richest man in the world and throw a billion dollars at windows 8.
But will it be enough to convince us to give up our windows 7?
I don't think so. As much as I love my ipad experience I always find myself using my windows 7 PC laptop when I need to seriously interact with the internet. I am and have been totally satisfied with my windows 7 experience. I believe that it is the best operating system that has come along since I first got my "Timex Sinclair" way back in the 1982.
"With Windows 8, Microsoft has made a billion-dollar gamble that personal computing is taking a new direction and that new direction is touch, says David Pogue.
It's efficient on a touchscreen tablet. But Microsoft expects us to run Windows 8 on our tens of millions of everyday PCs. Although touch has been incredibly successful on our phones, tablets, airport kiosks and cash machines, Pogue says touch will never take over on PCs.
The reason?
Gorilla Arms.
There are three big differences between tablet screens and a PC's screen: angle, distance and time interval. The problem is 'the tingling ache that [comes] from extending my right arm to manipulate that screen for hours, an affliction that has earned the nickname of gorilla arm.'
Some experts say gorilla arm is what killed touch computing during its first wave in the early 1980s but Microsoft is betting that Windows 8 will be so attractive that we won't mind touching our PC screens, at least until the PC concept fades away entirely. 'My belief is that touch screens make sense on mobile computers but not on stationary ones,' concludes Pogue. 'Microsoft is making a gigantic bet that I'm wrong.'"
I rest my palms on the laptop as I type, my thumbs work the cursor and the left right buttons. No fatigue or soreness. A great experience over all compared to extending the arm to touch the screen.
Nope, not gonna change from Windows 7 ever.
The commercials for Windows 8 all show a keyboard. Even if it is wafer thin it is still a keyboard just the same. Because Microsoft knows about "Gorilla Arms." A touch screen experience is not such a wonderful experience. My ipad is heavy and my hands hurt using it eventually as I pass it from hand to hand trying to give each hand holding it relief from fatigue.
This will always be the case no matter who made the device, Microsoft or Apple. Ours hands are too weak! That is why the "Mini ipad" was designed.
They know.
Flash forward to 3010. You just purchased a one inch square cube computer. As you read the instructions it tells you to hold the small box up to your left temple for two seconds after you turn it on to activate it.
Then your told to put it in a safe place. It will then communicate with your own brain from up to 300 feet away using the newly discovered Meson~waves.
You are supposed to close your eyes and you will see a screen that you can manipulate with just your thoughts alone.
Somehow it is explained that the box is custom tuned to your own brain waves and will only respond to you alone and no one else. All viruses and malware has been eliminated because only your brain waves will work and interact with the operating system once you have activated it.
The lavish 150 inch screen in your minds eye is crystal clear and ultra high definition.
No glasses needed since it is direct wired into your own brain in a sense and not perceived through your often defective corporal optic nerves and lenses system.
There are no power sources other then the interaction with you. The square cube derives it's power from your biological engine through the Meson~wave interaction.
Milli-volts are barely needed to power the square cube. You hardly notice the power draw upon your person even after hours of gaming.
It is rumored that in the back ground data is being transmitted about you and your thoughts, in fact that you are being watched 100% percent of the time that your on the square cube.
Some ultra experienced users have made the claim that they may have narrowed it down to who it may be that is receiving all of the data being transmitted.
The maker of the Square Cube computer system denies that there is personal data being transmitted from their product.
The square cube watch alliance claims to have evidence to the contrary and say that they will publish their findings publicly late 3010.
Strangely enough no one has heard from the Square Cube Alliance since they released that statement...
We will keep you informed.
ZaPp! Sizzz! Sput...
