A little correction Win2000 was (is, still have to use certain things that don't work XP or later) Good it was the bug fixed Windows NT, ME was awful....

Following this pattern, Windows 9 is good.

Most arguments I read about 8 and people's wishes that 9 will somehow magically solve everything typically revolve around Metro and/or the Start screen.
I'm using 8.1 on a first-gen Surface Pro--you can't get any more "native Win8" than that; this is the device MS designed from scratch for it. Yet I manage to use this device as my "daily driver", hooked up to my regular mouse/keyboard/three 1920x1200 monitors via a USB3 dock. So essentially I use it as if it was a regular PC.
I don't spend my days with my arm extended to smear the screen with my greasy fingers. I don't use any Metro app, don't use the charms, and I've kept using the Windows 8 desktop like I've been doing for years now, which is, with all my everyday apps pinned to the taskbar or on the desktop itself. As such, I never see the much-maligned Start screen on 8 any more often than I did the Start menu on 7 and older versions.
So what 9 is going to "fix", I don't know. People seem to be fixated on the return of the Start menu (I've had little use for it for years) and the fact that you'll be able to run Metro apps in windows (again, I'm not using any)...so...I'm not sure what I'm looking forward to in 9.

After looking at the screenshots I say absolutely not. Win9 still looks horrendous.

The start menu appears to combine both Windows 7 & 8. Just by looking at this, it may have a chance.

I like windows 8 - maybe because its reminiscent of 3.1, and these days anything that makes me feel young cant be bad!

Never thought Win8 could be used this way, unexpected functionality.

Oops.
I just thought of something.
Each LMBTFY visit will search Bong for the same question, right?
So...given it's massive popularity, I could well have helped to push that question well up the Bong "Top 100 questions" list...

Maybe 404 should be "If Google hasn't got it, nobody has"

It shall be so
