Windows 8 Sucks!

Re: Sv: Windows 8 Sucks!

just got my daughter a new laptop, it came with windows 8, never seeing it before ever, after starting it up running through the quick tutorial and playing around a little bit its quite easy, yes its a little different but nothing is really missing, its just in different places, i like it, i think ill be upgrading my desktop :shrug:

it took about 30mins of playing around to learn just about everything i needed to be up and running, im sure there will be some learning in the future but im sure ill figure those out too, desktop is still there and soo is control panel, where its basically always been.

Welcome to the future.

Re: Sv: Windows 8 Sucks!

lol, thanks, I already had 3 other computers:

1 desktop, 1 lap top running XP
1 Desktop running windows 7

Ummm...

By "welcome to the future", I meant "welcome to Win8". WinXP and Win7 are the past.

I hope that link helps you.

I know i was just explaining I wasnt a tech dinosaur ;)

sorry if you misunderstood

and yes i agree win 8 and things like it are the future with people wanting a matching or similar platform between their phone, tablets, laptops and other hardware.

matching OS? Probably. But only if it makes sense. In this case, Win8 doesnt make sense on a laptop or desktop PC. They need to dump Metro and bring back the Start button. Either way it doesnt matter because Win8 wont be around in another year. No one likes it. Companies want nothing to do with it. Im a die-hard Microsoft guy and I HAAAAATE it. Once its dead I will take a Win8 DVD, crack it in two, bury it and then crap on the ground I burried it on. ;)

2.)They need to dump Metro and bring back the Start button.

3.)Either way it doesnt matter because Win8 wont be around in another year. No one likes it. Companies want nothing to do with it. Im a die-hard Microsoft guy and I HAAAAATE it.

1.) why doesnt it, you may have that opinion but i think its just great on a laptop and would be just fine one a desk top, besides the start screen and app ablitty its not much different than 7

2.) i miss the start button at first two but once i configured it how i wanted it it was just fine and super easy, pinned a couple things like control panel and some others and i was all set. if you REALLY need a start button you can get it for here:

Start8 - CNET Download.com

Start8 for Windows® 8 - Bringing back the Windows Start menu

3.) i think you way overrate your own personal opinion, many people like it and i think its going to make it and make it well, all it takes is a small learnign curve and willingness and its fine. And even if this fails something just like it will catch on, an ALL-IN-ONE OS is the future

not to mention is very much like win 7 with apps and less a start button :shrug:

4.) you are free to do so but i dont think its going anywhere at all.
 
Re: Sv: Windows 8 Sucks!

Thats not the future. Thats correcting a crappy OS.

I really don't understand what you are saying by "Thats correcting a crappy OS". Are you talking about the link I gave?
 
Re: Sv: Windows 8 Sucks!

Okay, so I've had some time to play around with it(after fixing the one annoying thing that was ruining the whole experience for me), and I have to say I'm starting to like it, not as much as I enjoy OSX, but I am enjoying it more than Win7.
