I love Windows 8.1 but Windows 9 has me salivating

I went from XP to Windows 8. Didn't see any real problems. I had to adjust but
every machine had a desktop icon on the Metro side. Never did understand what
people's problems were with it except it was different. And Windows 8 was even
better. Windows 9 sounds like it will be good as well. But honestly never
understood all the hate because of Metro. Didn't like it, just click the desktop
tile on Metro. Done.

Good luck with ever finding a copy of Windows 9....

The future for Microsoft would be to make a login for all users. So for example
if my login is called "Glen68" I could login to any computer anywhere with
Windows 9 or whatever and see all my programs. They wouldnt necessarily be
installed, but the icons would be there and if I click them. The main point is
that I should have access to "my computer" from any computer. However, it would
require a huge Cloudserver, but this isnt real the issue since it should also be
easy to set up a homecloud, like a NAS. That I could access through my user with
ease.

As of today we have many cloud services. But nothing that makes your entire
digital life "a user". I would like to see basic stuff, like maplayout/files,
wallpaper, all icons etc from where ever. But as I said, it wouldnt be
necessarily to be able to open all of the files/programs, just show them and ask
me if I'd like to download/install them on this new login computer.

Correct

I am now evaluating Windows 10

You can still have those "tiles" if you want, but they are not forced
upon the user...this one may be a good one.

There is nothing to understand except that people on these newsgroups
are in their 80s and so they are tired of learning new things. They are
using mirrors and smoke to get latest news about world affairs. You
can't teach them or tell them anything because in no time they will be
at you like a bunch of vultures calling you all sorts of names. I have
been there and now all I now do is to tell them what is right for me and
what I am using without starting an argument for nothing with them.
Statistically, they won't be here for long!!!!.



:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

The first version of W8 didn't have a desktop tile.


Yes, it did!
