0Drei weitere Schläge gegen Windows- 8

Bei der U-Bahn UI ist nicht[int­link id=“2543” type=“post”]abstoßend[/intlink] genug, Microsoft haben zugegeben, 3 mehr Dinge, die jeden in Anbetracht von Windows machen sollte 8 zweimal überlegen,.

1. Nicht 3^rd party browsers on Win­dows 8 for ARM
Microsoft have made some excuses about bat­tery life and secur­ity, aber mit IE’s track record this seems quite laugh­able. Unsur­pris­ingly Moz­illa and Google are not happy. I worry about where this indic­ates that Microsoft think­ing is going.

2. Win­dows Media Cen­ter is now a paid for extra, des­pite being unchanged!

Microsoft have done noth­ing to update Media Cen­ter, but have removed it from all edi­tions, and it is now only avail­able as a paid-for addon for Win­dows 8 Pro. So if I upgrade from Win­dows 7 Pro to Win­dows 8 Pro it sounds like I stand to lose my per­fectly work­ing and paid for Media Cen­ter — and have to pay extra to get it back, unchanged!  A total joke.

3. Audio codecs going missing

Lost along with Media Cen­ter are vari­ous audio codecs. The excuse this time is that “ultra­books” don’t have optic­al drives. Yes — and that’s the major reas­on I have no plans to buy an Intel approved “ultra­book”. Again — pay­ing extra for what pre­vi­ously came as stand­ard is regres­sion not pro­gres­sion. If the price has come down then it will be a dif­fer­ent mat­ter, but that’ll hap­pen around the time hell freezes over.
