From all the MSDN posts I've seen thus far, it looks like MS is going to kick their "every-other-os-is-great" trend with Windows 8.

- serge2k 15y agoNow they just have to enforce a rule on OEMs that every windows 8 PC must meet requirements that allow it not only to work, but actually make it work well. Especially in regards to ram requirements. I like what they did with WP7 in that regard.
- chime 15y agoNone of this matters unless they can stop Dell from installing Roxio DVD LaserScribe that run on startup.
- kevin_morrill 15y agoThanks to the antitrust trial in the late 1990s, they've mostly been neutered in this regard.
- sid0 15y agoThe agreement has expired, right?
- kevin_morrill 15y agoVery much alive in the European Union still. If you just lost billions of dollars in legal entanglements, I doubt you're going to do it again. No matter how valuable it might be to customers.
- yardie 15y agoWhich OSes were these? XP, Vista, 7 is too small a sample size to see a pattern. 95 and NT were too different platforms entirely that weren't merged until XP. And until XP they had a nasty habit of not doing updates on the consumer OS. ie. 95 and 95B, 98 and 98SE.
- polshaw 15y ago98 and ME could easily be prepended onto that list. (The fact they were 9x vs NT is irrelevant, they were still MS's consumer OSes)
