sometimes the internet doesn't open, sometimes I want to throw it against a bloody wall. and the updates make it slower and worse to use. when I got to uni I'm geting a windows 7 laptop.

i wish i new what i was doing to make it do the crazy things it does!

anyone have any info about windows 8?
what is good about it?

I never upgrade if I don't have to. I have found that since Windows ME/2k. The entire OS sucks ass the first couple years. When they finally get all the bugs worked out, they bring out a new piece of shit for everyone to bitch at and hate.

=D

do they really?
why don't they bring out something good?

I guess system requirements as low as Win7.

Other than that? pfffft.

I actually like Win 8. It kinda reminds me of my smartphone or tablet. You know, how you have to swipe over to get to your apps and such. Pretty neat, in my opinion. I don't have the touch-screen computer, just a normal one, but 8 has been pretty nice.

OH! I recommend getting the updates (what is it... 8.1 or 8.2). It fixes some of the interface frustrations. I really think you just need to play around with it for a bit and get used to it. At first, it sucked, but now I'm pretty used to it.

It's right here hummy. It's awfully dead but only cause it never got many entries.

thank you
i forgot what i wanted to ask
i'm sure it will come to me

A co-worker of mine has it and I've only really heard him talk about it for a few minutes. After he figured out how to get his start bar on the screen, he's loved Windows 8 ever since. Unfortunately I don't use it and I was only eavesdropping on a conversation when I heard that.

thank for letting me know.
i'm getting better with it
but it is still so touchie!

Go hummy go

If windows 8 had two versions; one for tablets, and one for PCs, all would be right with the world.

That being said: Windows 8 isn't BAD, per se -- but it does take some getting used to.

I found an app that will bring back the old-school start menu, but I haven't installed it yet.

I have been using windows 8 for around a few weeks, and I love it! :D Once you watch the introductory videos its nothing - you can figure out and get used to everything in no time :) I especially like the touch screen interface, it's much more easier and faster than having to scroll and click :)

i haven't watched the tutorial, i guess i should thanks, Lexie!

I never watch tutorials

i don't either but this is so frustrating. i mean i have gotten better but there are still days i could just scram. it seems pressure sensitivity changes windows i really should watch the darn thing

:D It's just a matter of few minutes guys

yeah i know. i don't know what my problem is. i don't read instructions either

I find messing around for a few hours makes the few minute tutorial stick better if you're desperate.

i just keep procrastinating it
