A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

The joke is that going from 8 to 7 is an upgrade.
Is it still a joke if it's true?
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Gwen- your grandparents are gonna have a bad time, I suspect. Why the upgrade?
My new laptop is gonna have windows 8. Which would be better if it had a touchscreen, but fuck touchscreen laptops because they cost more money and rarely come with a CD/DVD drive.

Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceNobody I know wants Windows 8. They looked for computers with Windows 7.
Also, @ Story: If you haven't done so already, could you add Applelight to the round robin list? He'd really like to write a chapter.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!There's not many anymore. Also, though it ships with 8, you can always just install 7. Or Linux. Your choice, really.
@Ike: I agree with you, buddy. Touchscreen laptops usually cost more, for less screen size, G Hz, and memory. But I wouldn't even want a touchscreen, because then it would be all smudged.

"Moody Stops Bicycle Theft, Takes No Prisoners"- Harry Potter and the Natural 20Only every other version of Windows sucks. Compare ME, Vista, and 8 with XP and 7.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlaySure, but it's not necessary. The list is just the people who I'll ask specifically when a chapter is ready, but you can chime in at any point.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayHonestly, 8 does seem okay for it's intended purpose of tablet stuff, but it's weirdly counter-intuitive on actual PC's. I wish they'd just divide it up, then 8'd be fine.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.From what I've heard, Window 8's main problem is that it's a tablet OS released for P Cs.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayMicrosoft definitely took an "It ain't broke, but we'll 'fix' it anyway" approach by following Windows XP and 7 with Vista and 8, respectively. A desire to be innovative and on the cutting edge shouldn't mean alienating half of your users.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!I think they looked at the growth of the PC market and the growth of the Tablet market and jsut went Lol, Don't Care.
Why they didn't just develop a seperate variant for P Cs, I have no idea.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThey tried to make an OS that works on both PC's and tablets, and wound up with an OS that doesn't really work on either.

>.> I get it. I'm sort of distracted right now.
The tablet is also good to use instead of a mouse. Which is cool, because my wireless mouse hasn't shipped yet. >.>
