What happened to Windows 9? One just don't shoop da loop from 8 to 10 without passing by 9
hmm
my school currently is using windows 8 (aswell as me and my parents), but i think this really looks like the same, just with "better" quality

Really looks like 8 but in new forms of arrangement. heh
Windows 9 was suppose to release in early 2015, but I'm not too sure what happened to it
Meh
unofficially due to 3rd Party Libraries using somthing like: if (findString("Windows 9")) //its Windows 95 or 98 to detect if it's a Windows Version not supported any more, so if MS calls it Windows 9 lots of old, shitty code won't work any more and the effects can't be calculated.
How is playing osu in windowed mode on Windows 10? Is there same delay with cursor as there was with Windows 7 + Aero or with Windows 8?

I honestly like them, but maybe they could be saturated or softened a bit more. In any case, it's good that they're trying to consolidate their design language.mm201 wrote:

To all the people asking why they skipped 9, the marketing reason is that they wanted to differentiate Threshold from 8 as much as possible, while also using 10 to imply a huge milestone. However, a legitimate technical reason appears to be down to Java programming. Windows 9x versions had lines of code pointing to "Windows 9*," so there may have been a risk of creating legacy or broken code accidentally. 8.1 and its updates could also be regarded as Windows 9 in itself, given how much had changed.
For windowed osu, I get the feeling that the lag's less noticeable, but I might have been tricking myself. There definitely aren't any fullscreen problems anyway. The only certain way of knowing would probably be a side-by-side comparison, although I'm not skilled or gameplay-focused enough to tell well enough.
I think a surprisingly nice feature for windowed osu! is the narrow borders. Already, they look much less distracting and annoying during gameplay. The 1px width is just enough to divide the window from my wallpaper, so it doesn't even look too cluttered. The massive drop shadow also helps a lot.
I like the new icons, flat is justice.
Any official statements on whether Windows 8.1 users will get Windows 10 as a free update? Some websites say it's just a rumour while others say it's been confirmed (without giving sources)

7 and bellow had the option to upgrade for a looong time.
They skipped 9 in order to prevent confusion between Windows 95 and 98.MoF10 wrote:

From what I've read, an official Indonesian or something head guy said it'd be a free 8 upgrade, while 7 users could upgrade for $30. If that is the case, then it sounds like a great deal--especially because there's an inbuilt factory reset option to effectively make it a clean install.
DEEDIT: Useful updates are already happening. Six keyboard shortcuts were added, with the most useful one being Ctrl + Win + Left/Right to switch between workspaces. If this is any indication of how slick things will be, the hype is going to be so fucking real.

It's about time that Windows got virtual desktops.
I wasn't planning on getting 10, but if it's that cheap I may as well.D33d wrote:

See, I always knew that 8 wouldn't sway many people into ditching 7 and I only upgraded for shits and giggles and for the sake of trying something new (and legally having a properly activated OS). However, there really is a lot of change coming with 10 that should even have a lot of appeal to XP users. One of the reasons why I want to see these things progress is so that we're all on a better filesystem and that we can hopefully begin to say goodbye to full dependence on the broken and messy registry.
The way I see it, as long as users aren't roped into a subscription system that's a horrible ripoff, a lot will be right in this release. It seems that major versions will actually be ending at 10, with incremental updates happening frequently. It's quite interesting and I genuinely like the direction of everything now, 'cause frankly it seems that Microsoft are basically the ones who are driving all of this crazy all-in-one technology to exciting heights. If 10 really will be either cheap or free, then it'll be pretty much the best thing ever and Microsoft would still be raking it in from all of their OEMs and their own devices.

this image is completely fucked though. how is windows 2000 bad? windows 2000 was one of the most reliable, hardcore versions (also xp is heavily based off it) but of course le maymay tards wouldn't understand that (also vista and 8 are good)

vista is good, the reason it was such a flop at launch was because of 2 reasons. one was that it was cramped onto 1gb ram pentium 4-esque machines filled with bloatware and the other was bandwagoning. take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojave_ExperimentMarcin wrote:

It can be usable, sure, after installing all service packs it's pretty solid, still it's been forgotten and Microsoft just pushed toward 7 release which kinda made vista look like bad OS.nookls wrote:

Also, I used win 2000 on old laptop with 128 mb ram and intel pentium 2 ... 500 mhz something? Not sure, I could make coffee while OS was loading, and when i came back it would still load (not even joking), but that could also be bad HDD (it didn't have any bad sectors though).
Either way I don't deny that windows 8 is good os despite all it's hate. It's loading times (yes i do know why it loads faster, but i also use ssd, it was fast with hdd too), core and everything is just smooth. And metro? I can't even notice it - you just type program of your wish in metro and you get it almost instantly (either if you have indexing on or ssd), you never really have to deal with it.
People sticking to windows xp? ewwww; no comment, use your unsupported OS.

lol, that would probably explain it. my 2000 machine was a pentium 4; not sure why it only had 64mb though, probably downgraded at some point. the hard drive was still old though and the cpu was one of the early willamette p4sMarcin wrote:

I still have that Windows XP PC w/ a Pentium 4 and 1GB RAM, after an upgrade to 2.5GB RAM we installed Windows 8. And the RAM is screwed, the OS reads only 1.5 GB and it's still running good. Do not underestimate me.Marcin wrote:

Looks promising enough to try it after the biggest bugs have been killed away and might even upgrade it to fully from my beloved 7.

8 was always great at its core, but the Modern stuff really did hobble its usability at times. The app snapping became really annoying in 8.1 and even when only using it to search, the full-screen context shift was really annoying. Adding an actual search sidebar thing helped, but it wouldn't find .exe files in, say, my downloads folder and if it fucked up, I'd end up with some fullscreen Bing shit in my face.Marcin wrote:

Honestly, I'm almost tempted to upgrade 8 immediately, but for the fact that I wouldn't be able to upgrade to retail in April. 8.1 seriously feels like a past that shouldn't have been approached as it was.
