Say hello to your next OS (probably)

The windows 8 sisters have finally been introduced!
The one on the left is Yuu Madobe and her sister is Ai Madobe.
Wait, what the hell is this? Well the idea is, in japan, people personify their computers and operating systems. These girls "are" the personality of your computer, like Apple's siri I guess.
Well, we have to send Windows 7, their sister into retirement:

Maybe its time to switch to Linux?
I feel more comfortable when its Tux the penguin observing me when I "pat the ferret" so to speak.

Anyway, that's enough of being downbeat.

I guess pedos need an OS, too...
Personality of a computer my ass, what kind of personality do 12 year old girls have anyways? Does W8 scream when you play a Justin Biever vid or orders a bunch of ponies while you're online?

Hey, when you use a black box for 8hours + a day, you tend to personify it too. And yes, of you use the windows 7 os-tan theme, you get to hear her voice all day.
Mind you, this is hugely popular in Japan. People love it, and before Microsoft themselves did it, there were some weird fan made ones.
PS the fan made windows vista os-tan gives me the weirdest boner: http://ostan-collections.net/wiki/File:Chivistan.jpg

^this + 1, If ever feel the need to talk to a machine thats incapable of independant thought, I'll seek psychiatric help.
When I can say "computer, fire up 3ds max and make me Lancaster bomber' then maybe Ill consider it. Until then - no thanks.
Going back to Windows 8, its designed for tablets, no tablet - no want.

Same, if a company can't take it's PC userbase serious by pumping out a half arsed tablet designed OS not optimized for PC well then I'm not taking them serious doing the wise thing skip & see what they'll come up with next and hope that they've come back to their senses and bring out a proper OS.

Windows 7 is excellent imo, there is no need for a Windows 8 yet maybe in 5 yrs time.

People are complaining about win8's different tablet design but there is actually nothing that forces them to install this new OS on their PC.
Dont like it then dont use it.

Yup and it actually offered something useful.

Support for Win 7 is due to end in 2020. Hopefully 9 will be out in 2019 Q4.
I just hope the cost for Windows 7 Professional edition come down to where I can afford it. ;) Then I'll build another computer for it. But I won't give up my XP for anyone... They'll have to pry my cold dead fingers from it to take it away. :D

Once you get a copy of 7, you wont miss XP one bit - and you can take that to the bank.

Windows 7 made me not look back on XP. Although XP is good. 7 is much better IMO.
It does seem to be that every other Win OS is the better of late. Hopefully win9 will be the better option to use over the...mess that 8 is turning out to be.
I skipped vista and went from XP to 7, no regrets, 7 is a nice system and hasn't given me any problems so far. :yep:

I run Vista without issue. I was ugly when first offered on the market. I used these tiles like Windows 8 has but it was Windows 7 Mobile. Same tiles, etc. Worked great as far as I'm concerned. Using the Windows tiles compared to Android offer is much better.
VISTA had some compatibility issues but worked great for me in general.
IT offers some performance improvements across the same hardware.
