ugh, call me a caveman, I'm sticking to 7... and it was tricky getting me off Vista (which I know everyone hated)

Question: what is a single thing besides the replaceable start menu that makes windows 8 unpleasant

answer: the start menu.


seriously, its one tiny feature that is replaced with a tiny install and a click. yet everyone talks about windows 8 like its a plague. yeah they fucked up on the start menu and made it look like apps, but that doesn't mean the whole OS is junk.... just annoys me how hard people jump on the bandwagon. replace the start menu and all you have is a better version of 7, hands down.

the fact that they refer to mouse clicks as "taps" is enough to get me to uninstall

on the wineq2 front, Lavish has not said anything yet about Win10 support

Exactly what I was thinking. It takes a minute to completely disable the windows 8 app screen and add the windows 7 start menu. But it is the cool thing on the Internet to complain and hate an operating system over the most petty and fixable of issues.

oh no doubt and ill never debate that, that start menu is horrible and it destroyed its reputation, but people trashing it like a horrible operating system is just a complete circle jerk, especially when they claim to know anything about tech but have clearly ignored every technical aspect of the OS because of its start menu style. (i hear it all the time in IT).

i really have no reason to defend microsoft or anything, just cannot stand the bandwagoning. if you want to say the operating system is garbage though, someone has to give me a reason or two thats not so ridiculously easy and quick to fix, and is really only relevant to style.

Also, this article mentions Microsoft's troubleshooter package (KB3073930) to help block those pesky and troublesome updates. Still not doing Windows 10 though. http://www.techspot.com/news/61529-w...-troubles.html
