    It's the new Vista since a year or so. Actually, it has even worse sales stats lol.

    Nah, it's far from Vista.
    Vista was a good OS, but had horrible perception because no/few hardware manufacturers thought driver support would be a good thing. If all your hardware was new and you actually had drivers, Vista was amazing compared to XP. Otherwise, you didn't have a functional computer thanks to your hardware manufacturers.
    Win8 is just a bad OS because it removes functionality, changes how things work, and forces restrictions on how both software and hardware works. This time, it's MS's fault.

    Re: Windows 8.1... Is a Fail.

    My windows 7 install decided to stop working one day and w8.1 was the only digital download MS provided so I upgraded.

    So far the only thing I find annoying is how you need to go through 2 menus to shut down. I use metro just as a second desktop to spam shortcuts on

    Re: Windows 8.1... Is a Fail.

    What ticks me off most about Windows 8 and 8.1 are the aesthetic and functional disconnects between Metro and Desktop. They could have done a much better job integrating the two into a single interface.

    To me 8.1 is more stable, but it's the UI of 8 that ruins it.

    Yeah. I wont be buying windows 8. Me and my dad were trying one in the store (my dad has been building computers since windows 95), and he was almost yelling in the store about how terrible it is.

    Re: Windows 8.1... Is a Fail.

    It's on my laptop, and I just have ClassicShell or whatever and everything else works relatively fine now. The first few weeks were frustrating though.

    Really wary of updating to 8.1, don't want my comfort being fucked up really.

    Re: Windows 8.1... Is a Fail.

    yeah metro and desktop don't get on well because of the clashing apps/programs but fuck me metro has an amazing search feature that puts all other windows os to shame (yes, given working in both windows 7 and 8 i still find searching better on 8)

    i really wouldn't say you guys have no reason to complain about it and should just adjust to it to find how awesome/powerful it can really be.. but os experience is all relative to individual users - i have developed on windows 8/8.1 and found it so much easier to use purely because you really don't need shortcuts, folder structure or anything.. just hit start and type part of the program/file/app/wateva you want and it'll find it.

    this is coming from a mac user so i don't really have a biased opinion i just found it to be incredibly intuitive when looking at what they were trying to do with stuff like sharepoint when they integrated the newer powerful search feature into it.

    looking forward to the day folders go bye! and that's relatively true if you look at sharepoint document repositories! yes windows is heading in a direction that seems scary so i get why you guys might run a shell to remove metro and other things!
