So basically Microsoft sells the same windows over and over again by adding slight modidfications and new digit at the end (Vista, 7, 8 is the same fucking os and dx10,11,11.2 is the same fucking thing, just slightly upgraded). Whats next? Windows update subscription? Service packs at the price of new OS?
Also Win7 interface is sucks too, i use modifications so it looks more like XP, im sure win8 will have these 3rd party modifications to the interface so its ok. What i hate is XUnholyLive integrated into OS, i dont fucking want it, cant i just uninstall this abomination?

Surely now is the time for M$ to announce that they are releasing Halo 3 as a DX11.2 exclusive title on the PC. We all know how well Halo 2 boosted Vista sales.

Well, you HAD to download old desktop, so it's reason #1 :) .
And Windows 8 PR was implying closing platform and making people use MS Shop. People quite correctly assume that if this will work, Windows 9 will FORCE nearly everything to be only usable if bought from MS Shop. That's main reason - not that Win8 is flawed, but how its success can kill PC using as we know it.

Fun fact: EVERYONE will use 11.2 because it's the standard used in XBONE. Because of this ports between console and pc and visa versa will improve dramatically. The reason dx 10 (and 11 to some degree) never took off was not vistas fault, but because most games where designed for consoles, that used dx9. Why do you Guys think most games are still dx 9? Dx 9 came out december 2002!! (9c in 2004).

Video announcement from M$
So they screwed up big time with the initial PR in the XbOne, used PCs powered by Nvidia and Win7 at the E3, lied about the always on requirement (saying it was "hardwired" and a necessity), charged 100$USD more than their competition, failed to bring any attention (at least positive) to their new OS....... and this is how they fix it......making Directx 11.2 exlusive.
Btw, one of the main features in DX11.2, is the possibility to basically use RAM memory as if it were VRAM, the same concept used in integrated graphics cards, allowing games to achieve a SCARY amount of detail, whether it's in texture quality, Tesselation, resolution, or raw triangles.
Yay! I just got shafted by M$ for sticking to a stable and trustable OS that is Win7.
