Windows 8 is now out

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"][QUOTE="GamerwillzPS"]

Agreed. Windows 8 is a horrible piece of sh!t and I hope it won't be like that in the next Windows. If it does, then I'll be looking at Linux or other alternatives.

English please.

It's kinda funny how everyone is talking crap about Win 8 here meanwhile most people are raving about it elsewhere.percech

[QUOTE="percech"] People's complaint here is the UI. I guess it's such a terrible thing to have everything you need updated for you when you startup your computer instead of having to bring up your browser and search them one by one. When did convenience become such a terrible thing? There was a huge thread on IGN from people who actually bought it and are loving it. They said they probably won't go back to Win 7 ever again. Win 8 sure does have a lot of smart, interesting features.The_Game21x

First of all, stop being a Microsoft fanboy who keeps bending over for whatever they throw at you. Sad really.

Windows 8 isn't going to make things easier. I don't like things being done automatically in the background, it usually cause problems. I like to do it in the traditional way, it's just easier to use.

I'm not a computer illiterate, so please just let me do whatever I want. Windows 8 isn't for me.

Oh smooth, immediately jump to the insults.

No, I can't just like Windows 8, I'm just a Microsoft fanboy who takes whatever they throw at me. :roll:

It has been proven that Windows 8 Pro is objectively better than Windows 7. It performs better, has less bloat, startup and shutdown times are reduced, has increased security features over Windows 7 and offers improved touch functionality for those who want it without compromising Keyboard/Mouse input for those who don't.

So what, pray tell, are these things "being done automatically in the background" that you don't like?

no reason to bother, it's windows 7 with a tablet compatibility patch

not worth the effort to install, even if free... unless your using a x86 tablet

Again, Windows 8 isn't going to be easy to use. That's my problem, and that's a huge problem for everybody. It's built for computer illiterates.

What I'm hoping is that Microsoft only made this OS specifically for tablet devices while continuing to support the desktop OS, aka Windows 7. I won't have anything to complain about if Microsoft is dealing with 2 separate OSs at the same time.

Then don't use it and click the mouse once to get to the desktop.

Don't want to see Metro? Download Pokki or Start8 and boot into the desktop and turn off the links to it in the settings of either one of those.

I don't see why Microsoft shouldn't have included an interface for tablet/touchscreen users because you and a few others (seeing as the majority opinion is that Windows 8 is a great new OS) don't like it.

No one is saying there's a problem with the GUI as it is but everyone knows this OS is aimed at tablets but can be run just fine on a desktop, if someone wants better features and performance then great go ahead but complaining about one or two minor changes is pointless and outweighed by many improvements. All you need to do is remember a few keyboard shortcuts and you can work Windows 8 faster than Windows 7 and have everything run just fine. There will likely be a free app that turns it into Windows 7 UI but with all the benefits of Windows 8.

Edit: Well there you go, Start8 and Pokki brings back the desktop and one is free, so there you go, the problem you have can be removed with one download.

the vast majority of the new features on windows 8 are to support windows on tablets, its not an idiot statement based on someone's computing needs. If there were things removed from windows 7 to windows 8 that made it worse for power users so if your looking at an OS for work/productivity, windows 7 is surperior.

It's been proven time and time again that Windows 8 is faster and more secure than 7 and consequently, work/productivity would be too.

You may not think Windows 8 is better than 7 but that doesn't make your opinion factually accurate.

This video shows you the main reasons why w8 is horrible, having two complety different operating systems designed for two different devices, badly intergrated its horrible.

My sdd says hi, and half of the bench marks tested shows that w7 perfomes better, and I dont realy care for 1fps increase in some games.

I'm very pleased that Start8 and Pokki have made it more convenient for users like me who would avoid the Metro UI. That's lovely. If it wasn't for these apps, I would never intend on getting Windows 8 ever. But it's the truth that my worry about the future of Windows still remains.

The only thing putting me off from upgrading is the compatibility of all of my games and programs. I don't want to upgrade only to find that one of my games is not being supported. Just for the sake of change, I won't bother. I'm content with Windows 7 as of now.
