New Windows [Not Sure What to Call it] to be released in 2012!

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:

If this is being released next year, I wonder when the beta will be available! I was surprised how good windows 7 beta was, even early on it was much better than vista!

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!

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

 Didnt know that , Ive been using Dragon for about 6 years now.....tested the one in vista and laughed my head off at the comparission.

 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.

I was really surprised at just how accurate the Windows Voice Recognition software is nowadays. I don't use it too much but my brother loves it and is always using it!

Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.
