The windows 8 debacle

Been using win-8 for couple weeks now (work computer) usuability is terrible. It's just not very efficient or ideal to navigate around multiple folders, files,browsers, browser tabs...and prob etc... And whats up with the hypersentive "hot corners", cuase irratic behavior.

If I should buy a home computer again, I will go back to Mac. Keeping desktop and mobile OS fundamentally separate is the way to go. Not only that but the Mac ecosystem is super nice. Apple's cloud infrastructure and design is well thought out and runs smooth as milk. Win 7 is "good" but it's obvious now that it won't evolve as OSX will due to win-8 being Microsoft's flagship OS.

THE F'IN WORST OPERATING SYSTEM MICROSOFT HAS EVER RELEASED.

Its pretty stupid, made for a touch screen obviously. 

This is what I've heard from others, too.. Win 8  is more set-up for a touchpanel interface environment for smartphones & tablets.

Wow... Nice job Dicky.. 

I don't miss or need the Start button in Win 8 at all.  Had no problem using Win 8 after about 30 minutes of figuring out how the new things work.  It works fine with a mouse and keyboard as well.

one of the more recent issues of Maximum PC have all the great tweaks n advice including Stardock ... I have it saved somewhere but here's 2 really useful links :
