MidnightDistortions Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Maybe they can add the start button back stupid microsoft!Start button won't be back, Adapt yourself. Desktop will die in the future too.No. :angry: Just no. Microsoft then, will die. Going by history - Microsoft won't die, neither will the desktop nor the Start Menu (provided one learns how to live.) B)Yes you can do that with Win 8 but what about future releases? Will the classic desktop always be available in future OS's? Will no matter what you will still customize your desktop the way you want no matter how MS releases their OS's? That is my concern.

That is my concern.Those who whine will always look for an excuse - those who have a will to do it cannot be and shall not be stoppable by Microsoft, Linux, Mac or any lesser entity than the Lord Almighty.Whiners can never be Diners - one needs to look at the man at the mirror.Anybody who wants to finds out the real himself may feel free to click the Spoiler at my signature - all the best.

Administrator DKT27 Posted March 3, 2013 Administrator Share Posted March 3, 2013 Can you give some example about what kind of codes are you talking?Nothing can be sure. As all of it is just rumours. However, a lot can be removed. Non-essential, non-used anymore code to start with (example: start menu code, that StartIsBack is said to be using). What my guess is, they are readying it up for the desktop removal. This is very much a shot in the dark, but MS's strategy (note: not talking about products, just talking about strategy) is something I see this happening.

calguyhunk Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The desktop won't die. It may become a niche segment, but it won't die. Try telling James Cameron to edit Avatar on a 10" iPad or tell the Sports Illustrated photo editors to edit their Swimsuit Issue models (or anything else for that matter) on a Nexus/Surface RT. :wtf: You'll get a good big size 12 up your you-know-where. :tehe:There are certain tasks which are un-doable without the power of the big bad desktop - be it Sceince (Folding @ Home), CAD, Gaming - you name it :yes: It's well nigh impossible to render 3D images on a tablet or even one of those fancy touchscreen lappies. Even the PC gamers will give you a peice of their mind if you tell them to play on puny little touchscreens :nono:So no, desktops aren't going away in a hurry. But general net users may well start migrating in the right earnest over the next dacade or so :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, what step they will take next is unpredictable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
