Windows are in a brilliant position to turns things around. Google did it... No one ever thought Google would lead the way in design as they now do.
Come on Windows... sort that OS out and I'm in. I'd fuck Apple off in an instant if there was a better option.
- My thoughts exactly. Windows 10 is great on the surface but still needs work in the nitty gritty.fadein11
- For me Windows just needs to shut the fuck up. It's always finding ways to interrupt me that Mac OS doesn't do. Yes, I know I plugged in a mouse. Yes I know.monospaced
- haha yea. I haven't spent much time on the OS so I'm open to it... I hope it's good. I could only ever handle a few minutes on windows in the past********
- The preview complaint is a valid one, but other than that, Windows works well. W10 is still, imho, the best design. I am still hoping for a Surface Phoneformed
- and with this momentum they could be planning a superb marketing strategy - get people to "like" MS and the design and a phone would just solidify thingsformed
- I boot into Windows 10 occasionally to do some gaming. Each time I have to wait for all kinds of auto updates and stuff. Otherwise, it seems super solid over 8.monospaced
- ^ how often do you log in then? Updates are once a month and mine are installed within minutes..mekk
- probably once a month ... but it's not just windows updates, it's nvidia updates, other driver updates, security things, and on and on ... is that normal?monospaced
- One I found a way to bypass the login screen on W10 and not require a password, I became much happier too.monospaced
- Because updating drivers and getting improved performance is such an inconvenience. Fuck me. Apple's GPU drivers are absolute shit.face_melter
- And only officially getting driver updates via OS updates? Fucking clownshoes.face_melter
- I love how personally people take the mac vs windows thing. It's an operating system... you didn't give birth to it.********
- my problem with microsoft is the OS.ApeRobot
- this would be awsome if someone could hackintosh it.yurimon
- It wouldn't though. They'd need to rewrite some sort of OSX iOS hybrid as well...********
- I'm sure that's coming, but right now simply putting OSX on it would be shite.********
- I use both osx and w10 on daily basis and I'd be hard pressed to say one is better than the other. w10 has a cleaner design imo.zarkonite
- I agree. Why can't we just fuck off all these faulty OS' and return to the abacus?futurefood
- Funny how nobody mentions the huge privacy differences between OSX and Windows (which is now "free" so they have to monetize it somehow).evilpeacock
- Mac OS = insanely sandboxed and encrypted, causes frustration for some. Windows 10 = sandboxed to app store, but tracks and shares your usage data, serves adsevilpeacock
- I've just noticed that I meant to type Microsoft not Windows in the original post********
- @mono the nvidia drivers are mostly just important for new releases, they update the driver for every new big game. No need to follow unless you install new..mekk
- Apple dropped the ball with OSX, imho. They had the chance to make the iPad Pro a Surface competitor, but chose to lock you into iOS.formed
- It would take a lot to remake OSX to support touch and no point in having a iPad the size of a monitor.formed

It's a giant colouring book.
Several years of using the Windows operating system means I will never ever ever buy one of these. Ever.
Fix that and maybe.
- How is osX much better in your opinion? Genuine question. There is stuff I dislike on both and don't see either as miles ahead of the other.fadein11
- great comment man,
I needed a huge coloring bookGeorgesII - Your loss then, hateboy.face_melter
- lol @ giant coloring bookyuekit
- It doesn't have a file preview for a start. I ended up using colour bridge as a finder. It doesn't render fonts properly. File permission. The design of the UI.monoboy
- Crashes. Constant crashes.monoboy
- Re-draw issues.monoboy
- To be fair, I was given a machine the web team built from scratch. But still, pish to work with.monoboy
- Sending files to print was a hoot as well. The OS overrides your print settings every time you change them.monoboy
- Oh, and websites dishing you .exe files with trojans in them.monoboy
- You clearly have no idea what you are doing then, or are using a machine from 25 years agoformed
- The only thing I miss, being able to download any font you can think of illegally. (For mockups obvs. I always buy).monoboy
- Windows is an OS from 25 years ago.monoboy
- osX is so retarded in other ways - like not being able to move / copy / rename files in app file browsers... used to do that all the time in Windows.fadein11
- oh man ... these kinds of things come down to work styles, and once you're into one, the other inevitably looks retardedmonospaced
- I didn't say it was retarded, just shit. Not for me. Just about all the devs I've worked with run unbuntu. Says it all really.monoboy
- @monospaced - I use macs now mainly - only use Windows for testing. But I do still miss some elements of WIndows, but not a lot - reminds me of the differencefadein11
- between ios and android - osX is quite limited at times unless a power user.fadein11
- but its a boring old debate.fadein11

- Meanwhile Sketchup is going web based, Georges. Could be really sweet.monospaced
- Dunno how that will work. I've got SU files that are 150mb+, relying on the web to transfer would be sketchy :-)formed

- So there is no way my point was dulled by my point. That makes little to no sense at all. I suggest you focus more on working out how the internet works.********

looks fab. i hope the reality is as good as the ad makes out.
will windows run the affinity suite? if so, free of apple and adobe foreva!

Don't forget they also announced this Bullshit
Seriously what company did they get to design this shit
- fucking hate windows 10ApeRobot
- have you seen the new ios text interface?fadein11
- Yeah both companies are ignoring the pro market. And going for basic ass bitches.err
- how is ms missing the pro market? It's the only OS that supports the all newest hardware in any combination with backwards support and proper drivers.mekk

There are 2 large design shops in town that switched to PC's recently. Very surprising to find out. I'll wager if this thing is half as good as promised, it may push a couple more that are currently on the fence.
I don't think some of the younger people associate Apple to design like we do, since they haven't been marketing themselves that way in years.
- Apple has lost it's cool. The herd moves on.monoboy
- The Apple brand is vastly overpriced.monoboy
- Dev shops are going apple (because of Linux CLI tools, I figure), design shops are going windows (due to the richer software ecosystem?)
Bizarro worldmonNom - MS pushed nodeJS and they offer PowerShell, no need for unix bash anymore for webdevmekk

What's this bullshit they say in their commercial about not being able to draw on an image with a Mac?
I remember seeing people do that at least 15 years ago with a Wacom in Photoshop.

both windows and apple look shit. I don't think either are good for serious work. You cant run Maya or houdini on this. I doubt you could do any serious photoshop /2d work on this. For that price you could a super computer and probably throw in a VR head set for fun.
Hardware is meh.
Where's the fucking future? Both OS's & software look exactly the same as what has come before them. Am I only one feeling both companies are hindering progress purely to lock you down into their software/OS?

- The GPU is comparable to a desktop GTX 970... That's what I had last year.err
- "I doubt you could do any serious photoshop /2d work on this" - eh? you can do that on a shitty out of date macbook pro.fadein11
- faster is always better, but these are pretty solid machines.formed
