Windows 8 Rumored Features: Your PC, Your Way

Here's some more reading on the same subject

[Confused Computer User]

Both Opera and Firefox have been "speewing" out updates like crazy. I've been using both browsers for a while and I've never seen so mane incremental updates done so fast. So in the heat of things they probably left a few lines of code that should have been modified. Things happen.

You are confused.
Firefox has released only two updates since April 1: Fx 3.6.4 on June 22 and a bugfix followup on June 25 in Fx 3.6.6.  (There was no Fx 3.6.5.)

Good point

Sorry about that.

Anyone interested in this Windows "Azure" thing?

I don't know if it's been posted about yet, all my searches had azureus in it, and I didn't feel like going through them all but it looks like MS is taking a stab at chromium with it.

More Windows 8 hints.

I'm not liking a lot of what I'm seeing about Win8. I don't particularly like the face and motion detection and all that virtualization of things looks like it might be a nightmare for gamers and also for software developers.

it might be a nightmare for gamers and also for software developers.

Why?

it might be a nightmare for gamers and also for software developers.

Why?

I can't say specifically but all the major proposed changes leave me apprehensive about things like backwards compatibility and looks like they might make major rewrites of all third party apps mandatory.

[bob3160]

Since I'm neither a gamer or a developer, I'm looking forward to the changes.

I wonder if they will finally have the bottle to be an all 64bit OS, this surely would resolve many of the backwards compatibility issues. Not so much resolve them as ignore compatibility.

If they ignore compatability with 32 bit apps, I will never use it. They have said though that it will be a 64 bit OS only with no 32 bit version.
