I think a post like the one you just made would’ve been favorable, as opposed to the small flamebait comment you left. Windows 8… absolute shit, which has gone so far off the deep end that it probably can’t be saved. Windows 7… decent surprising recovery from the the preceding atrocity. Windows XP… decent, but relatively shitty until SP2. The end result is a shitty operating system. touchscreen), and Microsoft is making the Windows desktop as inconvenient as possible to use to force people away from it. They’re removing the ability to develop traditional desktop applications from the basic version of, eh, Visual Basic.īut if you want to argue that I’m bitching about the company’s practices instead of the OS, all I have to say is: Metro is absolute SHIT unless you’re using a tablet or phone (ie. They’re also providing a traditional Windows/desktop version of Internet Explorer, while blocking other companies from releasing traditional desktop versions of their browsers. They’re furthermore blocking ALL other operating systems out of any ARM-based Windows 8 machines using so-called “trusted computing” (I prefer the FSF’s term for the acronym, it’s more accurate…) unless they pay up like Red Hat/Fedora. They’re forcing us to create Windows “cloud” accounts just to install these supposedly amazing Metro “apps”, while at the same time trying to force us out of the traditional desktop by making its use as inconvenient and unpleasant as possible. My experience with that wretched Start screen and the lack of a Start menu on the traditional desktop, combined with the pure shittiness of traditional keyboard-and-mouse control on a desktop setup in Metro (face it: ITS GUI BELONGS ON A PORTABLE TOUCHSCREEN DEVICE), plus Microsoft forcing you to create an online account to download these supposedly amazing Metro “apps” and pushing a cloud-type setup is… just something I refuse to f–k with. When using it, I realized just how bad it was and just couldn’t stand to use it very long. I know… I wanted to play around more with it… but that was before I got it installed. One was released in February, which I tried and hated, and the other just recently, which I refuse to waste more time and plastic on.Īnd in response to BluenoseJake, yeah, I agree… “a few hours” is not much. Oh, well then… you must know what I’m talking about? So what’s the problem? And by the way, the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and the Windows 8 Release Preview are *not* the same thing.
I still object to such blatant bashing-posts such as UZ64’s one. You clearly haven’t seen any of the comments where I’ve expressed my dislike for Windows 8 and especially Metro.
