Oh Windows 8 I fucking Hate You
So I bought my fab new PC, pre-installed with Windows 8. Being the Dipshit I am I didn't read reviews about the new operating system, just the PC.
I got it home, set it up and was like WTF. Honestly, I have been "trying" to use it for the last 6 hours or so and it's a pile of shit. I bought this machine to improve my productivity, the way things are going MS are gonna need to pay me. I even tried to install classic desktop and disable metro suite but guess what, it also disabled by internet. Deleted it and it's fine again. Unless you have used a windows 8 with a mouse you won't understand how bad it is. BTW, I am using my old Vaio to write this. |

Classic shell is free and fixes most of its issues.

It's not just about not having a start menu.
Agreed, that is a pain and I did try classic shell but as I said it fucked my internet connection up, I had to remove it just to get the internet working again. I spent 1/2 an hour just getting Chrome to run properly.. |

2. Why is that when I install a program (VLC) I ge a bunch of shortcuts added to the start menu that I don't want. You just clutter it up.

Windows 8.1 is due out on October 18, and will be a MAJOR UPDATE, and supposedly Microsoft claims they've listened to their clients complaints with Windows 8 and have addressed the most common ones .... including the start menu issue.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/preview I have a thriving business in my retail computer business DOWNGRADING people who don't like Windows 8! I would say currently, as many as 1 in 4 of the machines in for repair, are to downgrade Windows 8 ... I buy "AS-IS" machines with Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional licenses very cheap on eBay, and install Win7 on their machines with clean Digital River MSDN downloads .... Windows licenses are 100% transferable. |

I'm not sure how you installed classic shell but you shouldn't have to look at any of that crap once it is installed. You might have to change some of the file type settings so files don't open in the new "app" versions of programs, which are completely baffling to me. My win 8 system behaves essentially the same as win7 now.

i intend to use Win 7 until MS understands and adds the Win 2000 clean desktop to any future Windows without any additional nonsense as an optional interface

I am very productive on a machine running win 7 and lower. Win 8 was designed for touchscreen devices which is fine for tablets BUT it just takes away functionality from those who actually work on a pc and use a mouse. Just try Photoshop with a touchscreen for example... ![]() |

but when i tried it, it forced me to create an account for their app store. when i installed the Skype app, it worked only full screen - what nonsense is that to have Skype fullscreen on 1920x1080? I am not that blind. i dont want any "hot corners" or whatever that was i just fucking want the interface of Win 7 while taking advantage of the technical updates under the hood of Win 8 - how difficult can that be?

Why do people still bother with Windows? Save yourself headaches, heartaches, stress and a whole lotta time: http://www.Apple.com

Also Apple changes their UI from time to time. Are you guys 100 years old so you can't adapt to some changes in an operating system? Please stop whining.

Then you have a solid, working, great OS. |

mobile apps have no close button, Metro is a touch-first interface. You'll get used to it. I wanted to smash my monitor when I first got on Windows 8 but got used to it rather quickly.
Windows 8.1 is coming in 10 days, on the 17th via free update, and fixes a lot of issues people had and complained about. There will be another update around March as well. You also don't have to sign in with a Microsoft account, I use a "local account" and then separately signed-in with my Outlook account in the app store.

Guys, it's not that hard... it's really not. Stop looking to be hand held and start looking for your own solutions...
There are several start menu programs out there... classic shell, pokki, start8 and a few other. There's even a program to make those modern UI app windows 'normal'... it's called modernmix So, spend the $8, pick up start8 + modernmix and be happy. Or... continue bitching and moaning on gfy about not being hand held by a company and it's OS who are obviously looking towards the future and not the past. And before someone decides to say it... I'm not a windows fanboy. I don't even use windows. It's just that Windows 8 isn't nearly as bad as all the bitching and moaning makes it out to be, and 2 simple apps can turn Win 8 into a superior Win 7 for those that have such a huge problem with the new direction MS is taking... |

And of course MS caught a lot of heat for this move... considering they drastically changed things and took huge risks in order to try and bridge the gap between their desktop and mobile platform. You are mistaken however, the "normal" start menu isn't still there hiding in the background. That's what those apps are for. Same with the modern ui app windows... there's no background way to make them behave like normal app windows. You see, the developers of those apps took something that consumers like you think should be there, and made it so... |

I built a PC on Dell.com 5 years ago for a little less than five thousand quid. It came with "Vista" installed, never had a single issue but now that I've said that....

It really depends on what you are doing everyday. I used Windows 8.1 with no problem and I will buy if the Final Build is release, surely will. Fast reboot and makes me comfortable using it than windows 7 too much click. While windows 8 I can say I can click them and find my software easily.

Win 8 is a turd but if you install Start8 and Fences you'll be much happier with it.

they really did fuck up by not even allowing to enable start button and that mobile shit, but install star8 and everything will be fine... i like win8 more then win7, but I do agree that Microsoft should fucking give you an option to enable/disable shit you don't want, you shouldn't be forced to not have start button when you used it for 10+years

When I first got Windows 8, I hated it because it wasn't Windows 7. Now I love it because it isn't Windows 7. You need to invest a couple of days (I know - who has that much time to spare?) to learn all the ins and outs of 8 and then you're fine. Most people don't like change and the INITIAL effort that goes along with it. We want to be able to do things right out of the box, without reading guides or manuals I like Windows 8 so much, I dumped my iPad 3 and switched to a Dell Latitude 10. Couldn't be happier. |

Precisely.
Force the average person out of their comfort zone for even a moment and what you end up with are people who bitch and moan and say shit like "fuck windows 8! this fucking sucks!". The sad part is, those same people fail to realize that with just a little effort and the smallest amount of actual brain power can get them right back into that comfort zone they so fear being forced out of. |
