    Windows OS - Merged Thread

    in Technology & Gadgets

    Posted · Edited by SamanthaJones

    its better to stick with windows 7 because it is stable and less bugs rather than windows 8..

     

    also if you check the market windows 7 is much expensive than windows 8... :)

     

    surprisingly - yeah windows 8 is cheaper. Just like previous OS version releases - compatibility issues (hardware or software related) are common during the initial release. But it looks promising. Apps run faster if you run the apps from the UI instead of running it from usual windows desktop. CPU usage is also lower in the UI than in the windows desktop.

    Looks better than the previous Window$ version. But how much?

    Watching DVD requires a separate playback software? Lame! C'mon we're already on the 20th century and no native/default DVD player on it yet!

     

    It looks better though it might need getting used to since you don't get to see the usual windows start button - based on the microsoft website win 8 pro download is around $39.99 -

     

    For the DVD apps - you need to download it from the Microsoft Store - I am not sure if there are free dvd player apps available.

    I hope you bitched slapped the manager with clever banter!

    All i could say was I cannot change your mind if that's your perception, but i assure you I'm not like that. The question caught me off guard, I really didn't know what to say back then.

     

    I think that branch folded up years ago. Talk about karma :lol:

    Back in '97 I applied as crew member at TGI Friday's Makati Ave branch. During the interview, the manager asked me this "What if I tell you feeling ko lalandiin mo lang mga customers dito?
