I like Win8.1 pretty well. I even got my mom used to it fairly quick. I don’t understand the complainers. I usually go to desktop mode and launch my main apps from the taskbar and rarer ones from the start screen. The start screen doesn’t take anymore (and often far less) clicks than the 7 cascading menu design.
People get in a real mass hysteria about things and just hate it cause it’s different or more likely cause they heard someone else say they don’t like it. 8.1’s fast and stable. I’m still looking forward to 10 though.
Same here
I like 8.1 also. I’m waiting until 10 comes loaded on the Surface Pro and will update when that happens. My laptop is getting pretty weathered so I’m looking forward to it.
yeah and Democrats only lose because they just didn't get their message out...
You know something is bad when the only "Pro" arguments for it is the customers are just to dumb to understand or they are afraid of something new. See Soccer, Presta valves, Windows Vista, etc.
” and just hate it cause it’s different”
That is why I hate it. For no good reason (for me) they crammed the office environment into 8. Productivity took a full month to become normal. Some people still have a hard time with it.
In one fell swoop, they negated all the institutional knowledge of people who knew how to do a thousand small things. Now everyone is lost trying to figure out something Microsoft loves because they can put it on phones and tablets.
Amen brother!
I went from Win7 to Win 8.1 and never looked back - fASTER and FAR more stale.
When I power on my Ultrabook, it boots VERY fast direct to my desktop without any add-ons.
The Win8.1 haters simply cannot grasp reality and must hate MS as they hold-on to their dear XP et al.
I like 8.1 too. I installed it on my mother’s computer too! I also do not understand the [new] complaints. It is better than Win 7 (assuming the use of start menu replacements).
(The old complaints I DO understand, as MS has “dumbed down” functionality for power users a LOT after XP, but that hit hardest with Win 7....)
