Many rural users with valid legitimate need still use dial up. Small Businesses, Farmers, At Home Sellers on EBay or Amazon etc. just to name a few. Netflix and Hulu customers are persons in areas with cable of who have in a rural area a fiber optic cable near by running to their TELCO SLICK System or up their street. Other than that it's 3.5 miles from the Central Office limits on DSL. I doubt may on say Hughesnet download more than a couple movies a month.
I'm making valid points point out valid issues. I've posted about how great MS earlier OS were. But when posting to a MS Shill it's never ever MS Corps fault. You'll love their crap or else. When TECHs are posting ill about W-8 the ones that have to clean up the messes that says a lot more than the typical poster.
Most of the world has high speed internet now.
Oh come on now LMAO Yea right sure. They have in in limited places. We have world wide phones as well. Wanna pay for satellite phone service? LMAO. While technically you are right on that functionally you are wrong. You don't seem to understand the huge difference.
Post 38 told me your knowledge is limited LOL. Any Tech would not have posted that and would have known 50K connect speed on dial up can not download 900 MB in 4-5 hours.
All I had to do to not use Skydrive was not login with my MSN account. If that won’t work for you these directions: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2111442/how-to-disable-windows-8s-deep-cloud-integration-piece-by-piece.html look pretty simple.
Yes there are still people using dial-up. And they should probably stay on older OSes that aren’t geared towards the always-connected-always-high-speed world most of the rest of us live in.
They aren’t really valid issues. You’re an outlier, 8 and 8.1 are simply NOT aimed at outliers. You chose an OS that is specifically geared towards people not you and are complaining that it doesn’t work for you. Techs are ALWAYS posting ill about the new stuff, that’s why I keep mention 95, back when the internet was just techs people whined incessantly about the Start menu and broken downward compatibility, and the tight integration with IE, and the putting all the apps in a folder that broke 8.3 and was a pain to navigate in DOS. Every generation generates a raft of complaints as people don’t want to learn the new stuff. Even the now much beloved XP generated this grief. Just like a new Dr Who, every hates him all the way up until he becomes the old Dr Who then everybody loves him so they hate the new new Dr Who.
93% of America, by your own admission, have high speed to some level. Now how high is high depends on where you are. And yes there is still that lagging 7%. But the upper 4 sections of the bell curve have internet connections high enough in speed to not run into the problems you’re having.
Sorry but if you think post 38 shows I lack technical skill then you’re the one lacking the technical skill. Connection speed is measured in seconds, 50Kbps * 60 = 3000K (a bit under 3M) a minute, * 60 again = 180,000K (180M) an hour, * 5 gives 900M and you get the patch. Not my fault you mis-wrote your down speed.
