Windows 8 Is Garbage

[Empoleon]

Lol I'm sticking with windows mate.

Seems like a cash grab type of thingy

[GamerProist]

I don't think it's that bad. Next year, I will buy a Windows 8 laptop.

[DaFlamingPotato]

I haven't tried it, but can't you switch to the standard windows 7 style with the click of a button?

Why the heck does everybody keep saying "it doesn't seem that bad" like that makes it worth using.

You can have "mediocre" or you can have nearly perfect. Your damn choice.

You can't ****ing run games on it? REALLY WHAT IS THIS, 2012?

I don't know, I've been able to run every single game just the same as I could on windows 7. Performance is a tiny bit lower, but that's just because the drivers for the GPU are still in beta.

I'm not afraid to call Microsoft stupid

As good as that post was, I had to single out this part for a specific reason. I am not afraid to call Microsoft stupid. Windows Vista is too protective. Good for computer-illiterate, but terrible for everyone else. Google, on the other hand, is something that I fear to call stupid. Google has yet disappointed me.

Vista was and is fine after two service packs. Anyone who still thinks Vista is terrible is ignorant and simply parroting what they've heard from other ignorant people.

I really want to get it when it comes out, but I dont know if its worth the $300 dollars....

Perhaps it was designed for touch screen..

it f***in suks

[Fireicee1]

It's pretty much a schizophrenic operating system.

It's trying to be a desktop OS and a mobile OS at the same time, and failing terribly at being a desktop OS or being a mobile OS.

[Tri Oxide]

I like my Windows XP.

[That Nub]

As long as it is not as bad as Windows Vista, I am fine with it.

[ZoMbIeTuRtLe]

It's Vista all over again.

Says bill gates.

I've had the final version of Win 8 on here for a few days now, and it seems to work pretty well to me. I've had the Visual Studio Ultimate RC, and I agree that it isn't perfect, and that it could use some UI improvements, but at least they're making an effort to standardize it over the whole OS.

Also, I've been running Server 2012 final as well, and you almost never have to look at that silly start screen, though its very useful at bootup.

(Note: I got the RTM versions of both though TechNet)

[DaFlash]

Personally I don't like the look.

[skiba]

I don't have it but it looks like crap.

A nice article: http://www.pcgamesn.com/article/why-...ling-windows-8

It took me nearly half an hour to work out how to turn off my PC. So: here’s exactly how you do it: You move your mouse to the bottom right or top right of your screen. You then click on options. You then click on power, and then finally, you click on the Shutdown option.

My ****ing god.
