1385350 2014-10-05 03:18:00 Well not really, if they don't listen... Errrr Yeah, but the question was
Makes one wonder why they don't ask people want they want to begin with, than wasting money releasing a crappy product every other version So they do ask, BUT as to why they dont always listen - That's a different question and a complete mystery :confused: that someones keeping secret as to why they wont listen. Well they do listen, just takes a year or so to sink in :lol:

1385351 2014-10-05 03:24:00 I know, technically you're right.. but as we see, they don't seem to care too much, until perhaps the next version is released, sales are horrible, and then maybe they go "oh, perhaps we should try doing what everyone was asking for" Agent_24 (57)

1385354 2014-10-05 06:29:00 They 'think' they are much 'smarter' than their customers, just toooo proud to ask and toooo proud to admit their mistakes.

there are 1.1 billion Windows 7 and Windows XP users
there are 200 million Windows 8 users

You can't please everyone

How do you design a pizza topping for 1.3 billion people that they will all like?

Windows 10 is an attempt at that, to please people that want to use Windows on a tablet with touch, and also traditional desktop/mouse users

1385355 2014-10-05 06:30:00 It looks like it, doesn't it? Return of the Start Menu, none of this fullscreen Metro rubbish.. maybe they realised that a lot of people want an OS they can actually use.



I won't. If I had to get Windows 8\10 I would... but would really rather use Linux if I can.

Metro is not rubbish when you have touch or in a mobile scenario like on a tablet

1385356 2014-10-05 06:33:00 They DO . :)

They are called Previews, Beta's & Release Candidate . BUT its almost as if they take no real notice of the feed back unless its a fault that will effect the "planned" finished versions .

Take W8 for example: There were thousands (if not millions) of negative complaints about the tiled interface and start menu removal in the pre Release to manufacturing (RTM) & General availability (GA) - But look what came out :D

Many reports suggested having two OS's one for touch devices and one for Desktop without the Tiled interface But it didn't happen .

You can make W10 start with the tiled interface if you want instead of the Desktop / Start menu . Which is exactly what I'll be doing if I upgrade the Media Center . The tiled Icons are a lot easier to operate from across the lounge .

Windows 10 is the response to that . Windows 8 was already done when the Developer Previews came out so it was too late to respond to the feedback .

Windows 10 is your opportunity to give feedback while Microsoft is listening and will be able to respond to that feedback in the design and future "flights" of the preview releases .

There are One Thousand and One reasons for any simple excuse.

Pride, Pride, Pride is really hard to swallow. :D

Sure, but on a desktop it's awful.
