12:09.24gregjhttp://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/06/02/asus_launches_5in_1_androidwindows_phonelaptoptablet/ wtf is this shit
12:23.09ArmandThat would be really fugging cool, if not for WinH8..

12:50.25gregjit isn't cool. It is completely unpractical and just horrible
12:50.48gregjW8 isn't that bad, if you compare it to predecesors
13:06.06dick_turpinhands gregj his glasses and calls Broadmoor for the current vacancies
13:06.26cbzWAT?
13:17.37ArmandI'd rather have Win7, or Mint.

13:23.38cbzwin7 is fine, win8 is a cluster fuck
13:24.49Armand^ +++
13:38.43cbzdoes the mikrotik stuff do nstream with routeros level 4?
14:35.59gregjwin8 looks like a prototype of what they should have commited themselves to fully.
14:36.20gregjbut there's enough fuck witts in the world, who would like for windows to look like it did when win95 came out.
14:36.44gregjso instead you get this 'compromise' that looks hard fucked up.
14:37.16gregjhowever, I think that the direction they go to - if they did it properly, by discarding all the old shit first - is good.
14:43.19ArmandI think they shouldn't have tried to push WinH8 as a mainstream product... It should have stayed as an awful, niche, kludge OS.
14:43.42ArmandI'd much rather they progressed with Windows7.
14:49.31dick_turpinW8 is a complete and utter cluster fuck. The only thing it has going for it is the fact it's a complete re-write of the code from the ground up. The UI is not intuitive in the slightest. Who's ever heard of going to the next desktop so you can close a program on the previous desktop. And a shutdown procedure that requires you to logout first so that you can actually get to the shutdown option which in practice requires effective
14:51.40dick_turpinHaving said that on a touch screen (Which I hasten to add is what it was designed for) the experience is a whole different ball game and is in fact fairly pleasurable apart from the two issues I mentioned earlier.
14:56.50ArmandTouchscreen on Windows has absolutely zero merit for me..
14:57.14ArmandThe ONLY reason I ever use a Windows install is to play games, so touchscreen is utterly redundant.
15:25.15gregjI've been using Windows phone 8 OS on nokia for a month now, and I have to say - it is pretty good
15:25.21gregjmuch better then any android I've seen
15:25.39gregjwell thought through. missing features from ios and android of course, but getting in a good directino.
15:25.54AndyMillaryeah, the windows phones are pretty OK
15:26.08gregjand for a price of a cheap WP8 phone, you can't get comparable quality android.
