windows 8.1 the biggest POS
 

It's like they didn't have 1 person w a little desktop common sense.

Still buying windows 7 computers for all my customers . Dell for 1 is still producing windows 7 pc and I have to agree with you . Should have been 2 versions windows 8 , tablet and windows 8 desktop .But like you said that would require common sense . The only good thing I can say though is windows makes me lots of money :D .

Or you could install Classic Shell for free and have PCs that boot much faster than with windows 7, perform better with similar specs, and are more secure all while having the windows 7 menus and style.

I was dragged kicking and screaming into 2014 (from XP) but I've gotten used to it now. Once you ignore the "full screen" apps and learn the keyboard shortcuts (eg Windows-D goes to Desktop) it's basically the same old Windows underneath.

It was done because Microsoft thinks (rightfully so) that people are stupid.

They figured that if they could get one OS that worked on the desktop, tablets, and phones then these stupid people would only have to learn 1 OS to use all the devices they would put the POS on...well...not so much after all. FAIL

and uses less resources ? ....yea ok

it does. its the same kernel with less added to it. Not MS fault you dont know how to handle the OS. I even have win 8.1 on a 8year old Lenovo Labtop, running without any problems.

95% of the problems people have with the OS, is all the crap they install on it + shitty lowend consumer hardware + Ignorance.

Suck Bill Gates dick much?

Not this shit again.

He does a little .....just a little . Funny his last point was not to add stuff to windows after finishing telling me to add stuff .

Microshaft and common sense do not go hand in hand!

i hate hate hate windows8 , why do you need mobile/apps on a desktop computers, i think they did that on purpose,

i deleted it, w7+

I know a shitload of people who work at MS and can tell you they are like from another planet. Very out of touch. Totally different than Amazon employees.

Windows 8.1 isn't bad at all.

On my desktops and laptops I am all running 7. However, on my Microsoft Surface I am running 8.1 and it's perfect. Windows 8 is meant more for a tablet than a PC or even a laptop. My Surface is a bit of both.

M$ is trying to make one system for both tablets and PCs. They should still make the traditional Windows (Windows 7) and then make a new system and call it "Titles" for Tablets. Let Laptop people choose between the two.

Unfortunately, as of October 31 MS will be stopping the sales of all versions of windows 7 and support for windows 7 will stop January 13, 2015.

Win8.1 is much better than 7.

You just need to learn how to use it.

I know, I know, learning is hard. Just keep trying.

This. But it is easier to complain. Next version should make most happy.

updated features and performance improvements will stop in January but security patches will continue thru 2020 for win 7

there you go :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

People still use Windows? My condolences.
