Before you get too far into this... Let's correct our error. During the search rant (around 4:00), we missed the other options below our search bar. We were doing it live like O'Reily and totally missed the "extra options" below search. However, the point still stands that you have to do more work to get the same results you would have gotten with Windows 7. In fact, when you search for say, printers, Windows 7 would suggest several things and it would categorize them. This forces you to look through each category. It's a major step backwards.

Windows 8 is the Vista of modern computing.

[eateroftheflame]

Anyone see that Xbox One conference? Turns out all those games were running on PCs using Windows 7, they don't even trust Windows 8 enough to show off console games

[Sheen Queen]

Yeah but they do overcomplicate things like apple does with their macs.

[Sheen Queen]

Exactly thank u. 

[Sheen Queen]

Im not those stupid plp who try for top comment, unlike some plp here. Someone is in love with apple. They're copying them because they try to make everything complicated to make it "advanced". Just stating my opinion. At least I'm mature and not swearing and going overdramatic about a computer company -.-

i'll just pirate windows 7 fuck this shit

[GrandNationalgnx1987]

should i just keep windows 7 on my computer then?

I had to do so many customizations to Windows 8 in order to make it work almost purely as a desktop. I have to make sure apps I download are flr Windows 7 (like LifeCam) to get it to install as a desktop program, not a Metro App, unless it's purely "legacy" and does work on the desktop.

One OS for tablets, one for tablets. They are not compatible devices, it's apples and oranges. For once Apple did something right. They could have put OSX on it, but instead put a modified iOS on it.

I can do 50/50 slit with my S3, but not on Metro? o.O

[Theollieb2]

If you had gone down when typing printer and hit settings instead of apps, it would have popped up.

Windows 8 would be tolerable if it didn't have the metro elements. The task manager and folder interface looked pretty good, but that tile-styled interface is horrifying. If there was a start menu, this would be an acceptable OS.
