Not really its linux clone midnight commender is still alive on linux . Looks very much like nc5.exe......

oh i forgot  a gui  without back , forward and min max close title bar buttons would be great too [to increase usability )= . This amazing and great  idea was already implemented in win 8 somewhere )= ]  .

A destop tha can easily be morphed into a win 7 formant.  Hate, hate, button being moved, changed, dialog boxes changing, and menus revamped.  OH, did I mention I hate relearning the basic use of the desktop cause MS shuffles all the elements around?

will you guys bring back desktopX? saw it mentioned above..

I'd say probably not.

Correct me if I'm wrong please, but haven't you been a proponent of all things Linux and (as far as phones go) droid over windows whenever you get the chance?  I would think 'emulating windows' would be exactly up your alley no? 

That's probably only the stance taken on dates that are a prime number....at other times it'll be 'something else' ....

Dual booting windows is usually better for performance than running a virtual machine or emulation program...since the windows is typically for games, performance kind of matters....

Sure, I like to root for the little guy. I root for Linux and Android when I can, but here's something you probably did not know. I could never use Linux as my main OS, and in all of the time I have been a member here I have used Windows.

I have my reasons why I could never use Linux everyday, wrote a blog article about it. I just think MicroSoft has gotten a bit to big and taken Windows in a direction not many people like.

Windows 7 2.0

but likely they will make a harder to use not as controllable OS with stuff that was free that we must now pay for.

And I didn't know SD could redo windows 8 to look and be like windows 7! So I could press the Microsoft button and be sent to the good old desk top again vs the tiles when playing galciv3???!!! Someone tell me more about this?!???!?

Darca.... you're posting from Stardock's GalCiv II website forum.... whereas others [like me] are posting from Stardock's WinCUSTOMIZE website forum - they're interlinked [and with others too].

Post OS2, Stardock turned its attention to MS Windows [last millennium] and has been closely connected with MS ever since - designing ways to Improve the Windows Experience [GUI].

Pop over and have a look ...

Thats right when you use windows as main system. If you use only few windows programs (like me), then its better to normally use linux and wine and a seperate win7 installation on disk.

Yeah i hope that win 9 would be runnable , fast and stable on my 3ghz dual core 3gb ram ( enough for 32 and early 64 bit programs).And i do hope that it could be compatible to win9k . Even if there are many people asking why.

And you can win 3.11 make look like w9k b.t.w ...  So you see  it was always possible to mod systems, and it is often wanted to rechange the OS look to the look of its newer  version or the previous system. The older look is often more popular, but after a while that  newer look is as nice as the  old one. But i have to admit that win8 is sometimes a huge design failure and it seems that some critical faults will be fixed in win9.

I hope windows 9 fix the limitations of windows 7.like transparency and etc..

Wow idfk. Ima learn more about this.

thks for the link jafo I can now fight the uniformity and ignorance they are trying to sell. But windows 8-9 is still way better than anything apple will ever make. Though now I can say bye bye to alot of crap on windows.

Hi,

Apple has done some faults that adnroid likes also to do.  Apple costs more than windows. I don' t like apple, cause their intel based machines are not fully compatible with their OS' es and have sometimes huge modifications on a hardware level.

And you can`t install MACOSX on a computer/laptop that isn`t produced by apple. Its illegal and technically impossible with full speed.But  you can mod your linux to look exactly  like macintosh and all my firends couldn`t tell any difference, and i couldn`t find a way to tell them  hpew to find out that it was linux.

On windows you need every time  to have a real valid and buyed license and then find a way to activate your windows or windows program . Both things are not related often )=.

Perhaps windows 9 will redesign their application to have some more logical dialogs.
