Not recently. Windows 8 is not good, and neither is the latest Office. Even with 8.l it's inferior to windows 7.

Like others said keep reading and don't quote the next one because there are more... a lot more.

This seems very reasonable to assume, and yeah, when it comes to online services getting hammered on day one with new accounts, account edits, mass settings changes, cloud storage being set up and synched, background patching, media sharing, and day one digital downloads of several 40GB+ games... well yeah, I'd advise lowering expectations a bit.
But then again some of these services require a subscription fee, which can make an audience a lot less patient.
Microsoft will not surrender the holiday season to a PS4/WiiU faceoff. They can spin any bugs/errors as just growing pains that will go away in a never stated time frame.
This is very edgy.

Silly monkey. That was a million posts ago. Do try and keep up.

How do you normally get to that?
I always find it funnier when people who really have no interest in the platform have huge post counts.

The clown that leaked the DRM situation and spear-headed the anti-DRM movement?
The clown that backed up Matt, Gopher, and Cboat about yield issues?
The clown that called the Driveclub delay?
The clown that leaked us the lower resolution on XB1 games?
The clown that against insiders like CBoat, Kagari, and Verendus called that the PS4 would not be launching until November?
You got some learning to do, young one.

Nope. I read this on GAF a few days ago in the BF thread. Again, could have been wrong, that's why I asked.
Still, strange that JackFrags is showing X1 single player and PS4 MP for his feed.

That's UI design (cough Metro) that's bad, by most accounts windows 8 is faster than 7. Anyways it's entirely possible their OS design as is is terrible because who knows if they sent in their best and brightest from the windows team. From the accounts of confusion/clusterfuck at MS I wouldn't be surprised if it was composed mostly of xbox software developers with direction from higher ups, hence why it may be fucked.

and
I always liked Schreier. Even in my pre-Gaf days. He and Totilo were two of the writers I respected the most even as I stopped frequenting Kotaku.
P.S. I haven't posted in this thread yet because I've been trying to catch up with every page over the last hour and a half. That dream is a fallacy methinks.
I respect Jason. I think Jason is a good guy. He throws himself in the lions den frequently and even brushes off the LOL Kotaku people. I don't know how he does it. Gies, I don't have anything personal against him, hates us I guess and wont' show up. To be fair, it's probably better for him. I think he's probably a nice person in real life. It's probably hard for him to be the but of so many jokes here. Brad is like the Dark Knight and shows up just to smack some fools. Jason is good people. Really, he's good people.

And I agree. But what was the point of linking that to Kevin Dent's dismissal? Just that anyone has "fired shots" at Cboat? Yeah, that happens. Hahaha.
I'm not trying to fight or anything, I just really thought you were confused as to the source of the blogpost/tweet given the context.
If the crashing is to believed that is a broken console. Crashing the console while playing MP every few minutes is broken. It's the suits high up that are hell bent on getting this console out at the same time as Sony that should be getting the blame. They probably don't care, just get it out the door and we will deal with the rest later. It's going to bite them in the ass big time I think.
All this tip of the iceberg and cryptic fear mongering just reeks- to me at least- of self promotion. Seriously, I read Tea Party blogs all the time for fun, it's the most basic technique. "you won't believe XYZ" and then, it's fucking nothing.
Not saying their cant be problems, and I'm definitely glad I'm getting a PS4 at launch- buuuut it seems silly to put all these dudes on a platform and get worked up about stuff they won't even reveal.

Nah dude, shits fucked, too much next-gen, I just need to play with something so shitty that the next-gen seems like a Greek god in comparison.
Won't comment on the other stuff because I don't know enough about their decision making, but I think you're pretty off about the Azure piece. The thinking here is probably more along the lines of:
They already have access to a public cloud infrastructure platform (which from everything I've read is pretty solid. I say this as someone who works for a direct competitor of Azure) and they have a desire to provide certain functionality and Azure is likely a really good fit. It's a bonus that they have Azure available because otherwise they'd have to build out their own cloud infrastructure for XBL, or use another cloud provider like AWS (not likely). If they're having problems with cloud-specific parts of XBL, its likely an issue with the way they're interacting w/ Azure and not Azure itself (I admit that's a guess as I have not yet played with Azure's API so I don't know what its quirks are). Regardless, having Azure as a resource to them is an advantage. Sony is likely building their own cloud environment to power PS+ functionality, or partnering with one of the major cloud vendors.

OK, going back to the pages I missed. Holy damn, this sounds horrible:
How has this core functionality not been wrapped within a common API across all games? Why the various methods? Why does each game have to do their own work with what should be low level black box calls?

Holy fuck. It's called due diligence. Some of these guys have more on the table than a screenname. Give it some time. You cannot possibly believe after everything we've seen that there isn't something about to blow up.

I have to say, it was really awesome to see Jason stick his neck out for GAF like that. Especially since as you said, he often gets reamed here whenever he posts for his Kotaku affiliation.
Definitely good people right there.
I thought we were talking UI. Not interested in game footage because I know that is out there.

Still haven't read anything in here... my wife just turned old (aka the same age as me) and everything is exploding at once which was my master plan all along even though I pay for my website/podcast.
Anyway, the source I've been talking to has read this. He said...
"If anyone wants to know why I didn't report this earlier to an insider, its because I didn't think it had a chance to be there at launch.
Like others have said, these things have issues up to launch. But I was buying into the "they'll have it fixed in time" like everyone else. Then when the architecture for XBL on X1 was explained to me, and where they were at with fixing issues, and what else was waiting to pop up and I heard what others were going through, I realized that it wouldn't be fixed. It still might, but it looks bad from this angle."
And evidently "matt" verified something. I don't know who matt is and I don't know what her verified. But that's what my source says. It's fucking hard to keep up with this shit.
While I'm feeling surly. #PS4NoDRM - you guys write about it and have podcasts about it, and - yes - I remember all that said we were hopeless.
Cod 720p - Sure seemed to be a topic on podcasts this weekend. CheapyD confirmed it several days later and Gies responded to him about how it likely won't be fixed.
Right now Ben Kuchera is telling everyone to doubt me. Most who don't follow this forum probably are. People who do follow this forum know I had the ps4 reveal, the xb1 reveal, the xb1 e3 (12/15 games!), the ps4 reveal, the only person on this forum going against cboat/etc that the PS4 wasn't launching in October, the driveclub delay, cod 720p... any now this.
So was it a long con? Did I get inside info on all of that shit so I could screw everyone at the very last second? I would almost believe that if it wasn't sony. They aren't that competent. I actually offered myself, sexually(not sexually), to Adam Boyes early last summer and he said "You aren't qualified."
I'm not. But evidently I can still do some shit from out here. And I'm so goddamn poor Im selling off my ps4/xbox1 preorders that I made on day one that I won't get. Yeah, I'm that guy.
Anyway, when this is also correct, and we'll wait till the end of november for that to happen, if you're going to base your website/podcast on what I say you can just reach out to me. My fucking email in everywhere. I get 1900000 spam messages a day, just to keep it open to people. I think I just won a million british pounds. But the point is that if you're going to talk about what I bring up... talk to me. I'm smart-ish. Im slightly funny. I also don't make a penny off of any of this. My blog is on wordpress, the ads give them money. My podcast, like wordpress, costs money. So I spend about $300 a year doing what I do. This year I've gotten a lot of donations (thank you if you're reading!) which cover this year but not all years. Not that I think all years should be covered. I'm not great at making podcasts (or good... mediocre, maybe?).
My email is blowing up. I have about 100 comments to read - not tonight, to be truthful I started drinking heavily after posting. I'm anxious, you guys kinda scare me. But I'll read the comments. And the tweets. And if I see links in from n4g or reddit or 4chan or wherever I'll read all of that as well. I always do. Does that make me egotistical? Or paranoid? Or drunk?
Everyone spewing bullshit at me - lets talk on November 22nd. It's a deal.

Delaying games (DriveClub, Watchdogs) is easier than delaying a console which is being marketed as the primary partner of the NFL, is sitting on the back of SUV's touring the USA, and being demoed at multiple malls across the country.
A storm is brewing, cat & dogs, sodomy, the whole works.
Well done
The hell are you even talking bout now?
It has the same problem though the XB1 could potentially have, which its really two OSes with a communication layer between, and that layer doesn't work all that well. So you get shit things like two versions of IE that sort of talk together but are in no way seamless.
