Preston Gralla: I've been using Windows 7 for quite a while now, and it's an impressive piece of work. But there are plenty of improvements that can be made --- here are some first thoughts on five things I'd like to see in Windows 8. | ||

| Worse article ever since man was born. |

| #1: I'm thinking maybe the second or third worst article ever. There must have been one or two articles in the past that were poorly drafted and that made no point other than to present one person's opinions. I've heard deeper and more meaningful discussions of Windows by drunks. None of them were documented, however. So, my opinion is also meaningless. |

| I was going to write a point-by-point comment on this article, but, then, I realized that it was so poorly done that I wasn't sure if my points were actually relevant. And, I have one question...how long has the author used Windows? And, has he thoroughly read the array of Windows books out there to "learn himself" <=spit=> how to do a lot of the things he says he can't do now, or that are "too hard!" <whiny voice here> |

#3, fewii, articles like this are intended to cast doubt on Windows 7. By ignoring the features that enable users to enjoy things like streaming over the Internet and pretending that they are not there, or are inadequately prepared, the author is able to suggest that features that are clearly strengths in Windows 7 actually are not.
There are in fact some very compelling features in Windows 7 and things like 'networking' are not treated in isolation from how they are to be used - for example, setting up systems within a home to share all media with one another seamlessly, and being able to place-shift access to one's complete library across the Internet, have no counterparts in competing operating systems. The author has no choice but to pretend they do not exist at all and present his wish list from a position of faux ignorance and naiveté. At a minimum, he can blame the new OS for making the features too difficult to find or use. When discovered and challenged that will be his counter. Most importantly, we have to give competition a lot more credit for being, if not thoughtful, clever. They work to say: "I did not lie, but rather Microsoft made it too hard for me to know..." They are indeed clever and until they are made to live as rats in a sewer, they will continue. Remember, there is a lot of money at stake and where there is, man becomes his most wretched. If we simply dismiss them as being ignorant, we'll be in for yet another round of Vista-like marginalization. |

The guy is, besides other things, illitterate; if he wanted to bush W7 he could have simply mentioned "Media Center"; improved over Vista but still....
Btw this app, exploited in its full pontial, could have guaranteed to Microsoft a place in every house for years. For some, at least for me, incomprehensible reasons it was treated since the beginning as a "lesser child" and always neglected. Let us hope that IPTV will renew interest in Media Center. |

The modern PC is more of an entertainment center now.
I have a "big screen" TV and I rarely watch it, my PC has a digital tuner with cable and I DVR my shows, watch DVDs and youtube with it and I don't miss the BS TV at all. Unless a major change is made in technology I don't see much else changing with PCs. |
