Windows 8.1

[Ronin13]

I have windows 8 on my new desktop rig, which I use as my primary system for gaming and surfing... I don't mind it, except one minor issue I have- I can't find crap! Want to screen grab something, so I hit 'Print Screen', then go to open paint... wait, where the holy hell is paint? Can't go to start because it brings up that silly apps screen, so I have to open my pictures, find a picture, open with... Paint! File>New and then go from there... took 3x longer than just clicking 'Start', accessories, PAINT! F*** you microsoft. But I still refuse to use apple.

F*** you microsoft. But I still refuse to use apple.

Lol, I feel the same way frequently (haven't gotten 8 yet, think I'll avoid it as long as possible). But I've hated Apple for about 20 years now. If I click the red X on a window, that means I want to close it, not hide it! :P

Skip every other Windows version.

Win8
Win Vista
Win CE/ME/NT <-heh, cement

Win3.1 Winner
Win95 Turd
Win98 Winner (after SP2)
ME Turd
XP Winner
Vista Turd
7 Winner
8 Turd

Seems there's a pattern here...

and the consumer wins again - see if you can get your money back on 8.

Download Start8, it's worth the $5 or whatever.

I find Win8 way faster and more stable than Win7 for me, so adding $5 to the $49 upgrade to get a real start menu back isn't a big deal to me.

Waiting for Win 11...

I don't mind Win8. I was given the option to upgrade for $15 and I went for it (not to mention my Win 7 wasn't exactly legit).

If I could get my BF3 on in Ubuntu, I'd never leave it.
