ZeroPenguins Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I find all the people who hate Windows 8 is a trolol poster. They only hate the Metro interface. Like many people said, install a program disable all the fancy controls that came with Metro and problem solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnFlower Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Well it's not that simple. Humans have a factor called being lazy. They want the feature to already be there.It is that simple... People are writing off Windows 8 purely because of the start menu. The menu can be replaced, and the charm bar turned off, which tosses their argument out the window. I don't think it is because people are lazy, they just want to troll. You see people bitch about the start menu all day every day, but not one of those people can come up with another valid reason for flaming the OS. Hell, some of those people have probably never used Windows 8, yet they will still jump on the 'Windows 8 is shit' bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jurjito Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I will try Windows 8 when Microsoft release Windows 8.1, until then I'll stay with Win 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animedono Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Never on my current desktop, the whole metro thing was designed for touchscreen. On a windows tablet which my sister got and i checked is more than fine when you use fingers and you need easier navigation, but on a desktop or laptop with no touchscreen its just a resource waste which could made the whole os much faster if it didn't exist (since its on top of the older gui in a sense), if there was an option to install windows 8 without metro ui and just the performance tweaks they have over windows 7 i would totally go for it, but so far from a period i tested them on a laptop (like 3 days) they don't feel as natural as transitioning from xp to windows 7 making it so that things i could do instantly on windows 7 take a bit to figure because of the loss of start menu and having to go from metro to regular ui for most things. Now for casual users like my sis or mother its really cool for 2-3 things they need a pc, so in conclusion its not a bad os, its not for me.

IllogicalGlory Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Windows 7 works just fine and I have no issues with it. No need to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinistra Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I have a Windows 8 Laptop (Came pre-installed) So yes I am goring to upgrade so I can get the "Boot up in Desktop" option. The start button is just a metro version of the Windows 7 start menu. I am running the preview on my laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhil512 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 windows 8 is good,but it's not good for gaming so, just using windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puchihime Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Nope waiting for win 9, 8 seems like a nightmare. I noticed Newegg started reselling 7 after 8 bombed too, I think that's says a lot about how poorly the software performs. (From a gaming stand point.)

Schantflep Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Updated to windows 8 only because I got it for free througs msdn and I actually like it, only the startmenu sucks but it can be easily disabled so no problems with that. However if I had to pay for the update I would rather stick with win7 for now and wait for win9 or install linux which works pretty good too.

Tangent Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'm debating buying either a new laptop or PC. The laptop I'm looking at comes with Windows 8 on it- and unless you bust your ass trying to configure all the drivers and whatnot back to Windows 7, you're pretty much stuck with 8. I'm not really a fan of it, they should have just realeased a touch/tablet OS (which is what it's meant for) solely, and stuck with Windows 7 on other devices. It almost feels like Windows 2000 and Windows ME. Completely unncecessary in terms of needing a new OS released, and actually back treading in terms of usefullness and usibility. Long story short, I'll be going with a PC and Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackdal Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 windows 8 has some pretty damn good updates under the hood that would recommend it over windows 7. However the support for windows 8 for games isn't really there yet. There's enough new titles out there that have issues with win 8 still, developers have yet to really nut out proper driver support for it. Give it 6 months a year, though, and definitely it'll be the choice. If you can get around that damn homepage screen of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionx Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 if you look a windows history:windows 95 goodwindows 98 same as 95windows 2000 betterwindows ME badwindows xp bestwindows vista badwindows 7 much betterwindows 8 worstwindows 8.1 improved but still bad lookingat it that way it's safe to say windows 9 will be the the succesor to windows 7 then again I may go full linux if they can fix their driver issues and wine gets full exe compatability.. (aka runs all exes that run on windows drivers excluded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonsoul Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 i use windows 8 before but it's really heavy than win 7, win 8 look faster just because the smooth animation, but if u install software and more it slow like hell than win 7 , and not all software fully support win 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudxkillah Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Windows 8 seems a hell of alot slower than Windows 7 plus the interface is ugly and a bit confusing. Maybe in the future when it gets more stable i will get it another shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
