I actually still use Win8 on one of my home PCs. It works well with a couple of tweaks (running ClassicShell and Winaero Tweaker, getting rid of the Start screen and turning off Charms). It is less customisable than previous versions, but that was a trend that only got worse with Win10.

Windows 8 was terrible in the stability department. Some computers got lucky, but half the time they would go into an endless startup recovery cycle. Windows 8.1 was fine, but I recently had a bad experience with it and a MBR partition table... I got the dreaded _black screen with the blinking DOS cursor right after the BIOS and right before booting windows, with no option to go into safe mode or startup recovery._ I now use GPT and Windows 10... I'll miss some good things Windows 8.1 had, like the old regional configuration, which didn't force you to install keyboard layouts you'll never use like Windows 10 does. >.>

I just thought "Challenge Accepted" (or whatever the 1996 school-kid equivalent was) and enjoyed the heck out of that burger. Now I just wonder why it failed so badly.

[@dorkfishieSailor]

The reason it failed is likely because of; 1: The price, and 2: The advertising.

[@CSmyth-]

Now, the REAL failures are the failures which didn't fail in a noteworthy enough way to even be deemed a failure :P

[@SamuelEstenlund]

The real failures are those that are in the museum, but that people look at for a second, say "I've never heard of that. I wonder why that's in here" and then move on to the stuff they recognize.

[@Cythil]

Well there is stuff in the museum you likely have not heard (If you not interested in failures) like the Apple Console Pipin (Could actually have a whole section of failed consoles. But of course this being a Apple it would be a bit recognizable then Commadors console attempts.)

[@tenebrasolanum4215]

To be considered a success, a product needs to be recognised and the core feature be unique, as well as sell, obviously (cost is also a factor). A combination of selling so few units, lack of marketing/advertising, poor delivery of features/lack of features etc all make a failure. Like *cough* mighty no. 9 *cough* , it was widely advertised but didn't deliver on their promises, so they didn't sell many copies (probably only backers and a few collectors), thus it failed because of one mistake. It's like a triangle of things that fail that people don't seem to consider before designing something.

[@philipocarroll]

No, we're not interested in boring failures, we want to see great big, billion dollar failures or failures which were truly innovative, such as Apple Lisa or Concorde.

Me giving my friends a tour of my room

[@MickeyKnox]

WOAH WOAH WOAH ... the DeLorean wasn't a failure - it helped making time travel possible :)

[@themadhammer3305]

MickeyKnox the DeLorean company failed because of the decisions made by DeLorean himself. the cars themselves were quite well received from what i understand

[@5roundsrapid263]

The Mad Hammer My friend owns one. They look cool, but are underpowered, break often, and parts are very expensive.

[@5roundsrapid263]

The Mad Hammer One company bought the name and parts. They have a monopoly now.

[@MickeyKnox]

that's really a shame - other than all those other 30 year old cars that did not sell very good where you can find its parts EVERYWHERE in the world

[@CJT3X]

Actually the car is quite a joke. The company called DeLorean that exists today is based on old stock, they resell parts and have cars to sell, but the car has some of the worst specs in history. It's too heavy, it has a terrible 0-60.

[@lavender.lemonade]

I remember my mom telling me about olestra crisps and how they were supposed to be this healthy alternative to normal crisps and they ended up being a laxative and they had to put a warning label on them. That's a pretty big fail and im glad other people remember that failure.

That's not the point. In order for a product to get put in the museum it needs to be innovative, so it couldn't be an innovation failure.

To be fair though their engine is innovative and actually quite cool- they just failed to build a game on top of it

It failed to deliver, but it didn't fail comercually so it doesn't cou t as a failure.

They are still building that game. It will eventually come to us, though probably not in the form that Murray promised us.

[@chadmasta5]

Custap last I heard the company was bought out by razer and now they only make normal android games. It was more a failure in that it didn't really deliver on what it promised. It was under powered, the wifi was terrible, the ui was clunky, and considering they marketed it as a device you were supposed to be able to tinker with it was incredibly easy to brick.

[@Tanjooodo]

Custap it was crowd funded

[@johnmft]

they released it before it was ready, but other than that it did what it said on the tin. Many people bought it thinking it would have all major games released on it and it would be a good deal on a console for like $90. It is still good for playing android games on a tv though i hear.

Is that the smartphone -tile thing? I think it lived too short and reached too low volume to be considered a failure. More like an isolated incident. Windows Fiesta on the other hand was a nightmare. XP (service pack 2/3) and 7 are best systems so far.

Fun story We came to europe to tour it by road when we arrived in sweden i was excited because we had some family there(thats what i was told) my parents brought me here or we were passing by this area, i really dont remember, and they told me that they had finally found a place for me.

[@JacobLantz]

this is absolutely ridiculous...so I was just doing the usual, binge-watching Tom Scott-videos, when I ended up reading comments on the "I Drove My Childhood Favorite Racing Game In Real Life"-clip, about that time when Tom drove around in Vancouver and reminisced about Need For Speed 2, a demo I played myself _a lot_ and instantly recognized from the video. I enjoyed reading the comments from people that lived in the area and how excited they were over the fact that Tom Scott had visited "their town"...well, the very next suggestion I got was this video! The ridiculous part? I'm from Helsingborg 🤩😍
