the software industry is a scam , there has been no major improvement since 2000, yet they still force you to upgrade. and don't tell me about rich web content and all that nonsense, it has slown down browsing and machines so that you always need more processing more power, mem etc, in the end you are no better off and you have all those distractions (rich content) .
I am still using Win2k on one PC and it's the best, on the other one I have XP Pro which I think is shit compared to Win2k. I heard Vista was a POS, Win7 better but how better than XP. I find it outrageous that you can't run anything on Win2k anymore not even a recent browser.

The "Storage Spaces" capability within Windows 8 is a great technical feature for creating redundant copies of your data, although I would have preferred another option of "add SSD capacity as cache to improve performance" to the storage space.

What I really look forward to is a Windows version that can uninstall software to revert the system back to the same "clean" state than it was in before the install. No more registry BS, no more segregated inits, roaming folder BS, document folder bs, cache bs, force ALL software installs to write whatever they want into their OWN FOLDER ONLY, NOWHERE ELSE. The problem is not slow hardware, the problem is that once you run a Windows install and periodically install/uninstall software, upgrade Windows components, your machine slows down to a level as if you were running the OS on a 2-3 year older machine. Its a horrible way to run an OS in 2012.

I didn't know that, but I never install/uninstall stuff except for a few must have applications, and I never upgrade Win components. If you let software developers have their way they 'll just ruin your life.

agree, if you run a fresh Windows install, just add the few apps that you plan to run over the next year or so, and first create a solid partition backup then you are good. Anything else will slow down Windows OSs tremendously over time.
