1.  Microsoft:  Okay, they made a dog, Windows 8.  But that isn't THEIR fault, it's their stupid users.

Quote from: HUBRIS-FILLED ASS CAKE"Are there things that we can do to improve the experience? Absolutely," Reller said "There is a learning curve (to Windows 8 ) and we can work to address that."

Well, I can think of one way to "improve the experience"...Take all the designers of this piece of shit, and put them back in the "home".  Then bring back Windows 7 and MAKE SOMETHING NEW, instead of changing the damn OS every 30 fucking seconds.  Lazy fucking bastards.  There's a million things you could do that would sell like hotcakes, but why do THAT when you can sell the same thing over and over again, a little worse each time?

Fuck you, Microsoft.  Fuck you in the heart.  I'm buying a Mac, and I'm never, ever going back.

Oh, and:

QuoteMicrosoft also isn't saying whether it will charge existing owners of Windows 8 devices to get the fixes in Blue.

So yeah.

I'm always the odd man out on this one.  I have it on my new laptop and I don't particularly mind it so much.  It would be nice if it could be started in desktop mode rather than that start screen i don't use. My typical behavior with Win7 is to use the windows key and type the application i want to use which works just as well with windows 8...better even because they improved the search function.  For quick applications and folders I use Fences Pro and Dexpot allows me to use multiple desktops.

I can also do away with encouraging me to sign up for to an microsoft account but whatever. 

It'll be interesting to see what they do. I hope they give it more customizable options.  My biggest issue with making things user friendly is that developers tend to create more and more steps than necessary to accomplish a simple task.

In the end, I didn't really see much difference from the way I normally use windows...but, at the same time, I can definitely see others' frustrations with it.

HP "optimized" the laptop.  You CAN run Linux, but only over top of windows.

There is no escape.

When this thing dies, I'll go to Mac too, if I have the cash. If not, an old piece-of-shit pawnshop laptop with 7.
I really don't like Windows much though. Too many damn updates ALL THE TIME. You spend a good chuck of time postponing shit or waiting for shit to install.

What's wrong with Windows 8?

Seriously, I don't get the outrage. Have you pulled up the new Windows 8 task manager? It's awesome, and lets you see all of the things. (Services! Background services now show up with names!). And you can't tell me that the new file copy dialog isn't sexy. It has graphs & shit.

The new start screen is everything your desktop was supposed to be. The old desktop ended up being a clutter-bin where things got lost. Ordinary user's files were spread out between Documents & Settings, My Documents, Desktop, Download, and random temp folders inside of individual Program Files subfolders. You don't /want/ your computer desktop to be as cluttered as your actual desktop. Your desktop is not a place to keep things. Your desktop is a place to /access/ things. The new start screen is exactly what you wanted your desktop to be - the set of huge clickable/touchable buttons that you use frequently, and when you're not reaching for a thing, it gets out of your way and lets you look at your pretty desktop background.

I wish Win8 had shipped with "tiles" for Log Off and for Shut Down, so they'd be easier to press. I really, really wished it came with the ability to easily set tile images for your shortcuts. (You can do it by making VBscripts that launch an application and putting an image in a bundled resource next to the script, but that's just gross.) I'm not sold on the "charms" thing for desktop (might feel more natural on a tablet?), but I am glad that mobile apps that target Win8 also run on the PC. Because otherwise, nobody would ever write software for Win8 RT.

I really, really wish I didn't suddenly need make registry hacks to get Windows 8 to put OS information on my SSD and user/program data on my giant cheap spinning rust bin, but that broke somewhere between XP and 8, so it's not a problem for Win8 specifically.

I'm more annoyed that the new Sql Server Management Studio 2012 has an insane terrible user interface. It's slightly worse than the 2008 version, which is saying something. They rebuilt it as a Visual Studio add-in thingy when all we wanted was for it to not suck. Like, being able to run a script that's too large to display in a text editor easily. less and more are both ancient; it's a solved problem. SSMS just needs to stop being pants-on-head retarded and catch up to this decade.
