Pedrito Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Microsoft has been forced by the European Union to provide alternatives to Internet Explorer in its Windows operating systems, but maybe in the future it might have to give users the option to choose something else in terms of OS. A very interesting screenshot has been making the rounds on Google Plus, showing a notification in Windows 8 about the impeding expiration of an evaluation version. Someone modified the image so that the options for the user are “Get Windows,” “Close,” and “Get Ubuntu.” This is actually funny because a new major Ubuntu version is scheduled for release in April and people might look at it as a replacement for Windows.

Yorel Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I doubt about MS be forced to recommend another OS because you choose it not MS. With IE was different, the browser already was installed in OS you installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackieo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Mhhh, you reminded me about the old days when I used Mandrake, maybe I will install Linux these days, I miss it :P2003 - I purchased Mandrake 7 (? I think...memory is fuzzy) at Wal-Mart for 14 bucks, took it home, and learned how to install it on a Compaq 3000R, and dual booted it with XPI could not get it to go online... it looked like a nice version of win 98... couldn't do much with it, was interesting experience, all in all :)So I got to run around in Linux land for a bit, but was happy to come back home to XP.I have read reviews of the newer flavors of linux, but i just cannot make the leap to abandon windows.Too much stuff - games etc video editing - I need less headaches these days, and less hassles...thats also why I never went Mac.... ( not to mention the price tag shock on all their gear and software) Edited January 23, 2014 by jackieo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackieo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) nice video transitions he uses- wish I knew what that one was where the text grows and moves offscreen...other than that, its looks way too geeky for me....watching that video gives me appreciation of how much windows does for you Edited January 23, 2014 by jackieo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
