Title: New Windows [Not Sure What to Call it] to be released in 2012!
Post by: soarwitheagles on May 24, 2011, 03:48:39 pm: Hi all,

Steve Ballmer announced the upcoming release of Windows 8 today, then Microsoft's spokeswoman spoke of no name yet to be given the new OS.

Anyway, here's the article:

LOL!

Good point DM!

Ok, let's make a post asking for suggestions for Microsoft's new operating system...

Any suggestions people?

How about Vista Redeemer?

How about Apple Buster 1?

or...

How about Win 8 Torpedoed OSX?

Better N Linux 8?

Ok DM, let's see what quality of creativity we have here at Gigabyte UK!

Windows "Matrix"

Windows "Redemption".......Will he ever live Vista down!

Windows "Medusa"........My pick! ........It's sure to have several heads!

Windows "Final"..........Will he retire soon?

Windows "Evolution"

Windows "Razor"

Windows "Zeus"..........they should be paying us!

And the big question........Will Balimore and Gate make good there cryptic promise and deliver a high end voice engine integrated into there up and coming OS......if true to form .... Dragon Naturally Speaking could be the secret new acquisition.......are there shares.....buy,buy,buy.

Actually the Windows in house voice controller works better than Dragon in a lot of tests.

Windows must have come a looooooooooooooooong way .........the latest Dragon I use for anything over a A4......admittedly I have my own voice files going back a while but 120 words a minute is not uncommon with 97% accuracy.........might have to dust off the Windows mic and see if W7 performs better.
