Win Xp compatible?

<< < (5/5)

Botsareus:
XBOX part agree. Just do not reduce it to a mindless pressing of random buttons.
8 part, That is the only thing it is good for.
9 part, good attempt to decentralize a nearly perfect architecture.
10 part, well good, maybe have a 4 part system where a user actually selects between an XBOX feel, an 8 feel, and a proper pointer map editor. You can choose to scrap the mouse pointer and go with an XBOX, but I highly do not recommend it. Famous good bye quote from TerminatorDelta. Also a note that the epic zone structure was awesome, but SONY scrapped the project because of a little concept called choice. Also note that no one can see past a choice they do not understand.
11 part, that is a blast from the past most probably, although choice is so highly debatable that it makes people snap.
12 part, stop killing yourself.
13 unlucky, but you can also choose to ignore anything I say.
14 I feel like I am chatting with a botnet at this point. Is this netbot?
15 Question: God damn, stop killing yourself.
16 What question?
20 It is a pain in the ass, but 'we' can only count properly to 20, thank you for making me go there.

Fairly sure XP was initially scheduled to stop support in 2012, but was then prolonged to 2014.
Got nothing against XP in itself, but when developing software I hate trying to make things XP compatible. Sooner or later you gotta move on.
Personally think DB3 should focus on using the latest technology rather than trying to be backwards compatible (At least not as far as XP).
Personally running Win 8, and must agree the interface is annoying. It defaults to a touch screen setup even though I have no touch screen, and there is no fast and easy way to change the way things work (There is, I'm told, ways to change it, but can't be bothered and I prefer B&M about it to actually doing something about it.)

As long as it works with WIN7. and when WIN10 comes out, WIN10...it would be fine, WIN8 is compatible with WIN7 applications, (A feature they added in :D) through a special WIN7 Desktop stored within WIN8.

Peter:
I like win 8. The only annoyance is the poor integration between the metro/desktop interface.

With the metro interface it's clear Microsoft focused mostly on tablets. Just got a win8 tablet, and that works quite well. On the desktop certain designs feel unnatural, but it's works nice on a tablet.

Weird thing was that it got stuck in the update process at some point so windows wouldn't load. Got a menu but couldn't press any buttons through touch. I had to attach a mouse to go through some menu recovery options. Guess it still likes the mouse over touch in heart.

Backwards compatibility isn't a new feature in windows 8. It seems one of the core features of windows to run older applications.
