Again... another person who clearly knows what they are on about with a beautifully written response that debates my point.
tired of talking to a prejudiced person
Is it a crime to want decent responses instead of mindless ad-hock reckons of my posts? Do I seriously have to ask you why you don't agree with my points?
If you're tired to talking to me then don't reply. But I'ma keep on talking to maybe add some clarity to my post and hopefully get a decent response that is more than a one worded condescending sneer..
My point was that Windows 8 is pretty much Windows 7 with tablet features. I still stand by that. I use Windows 8 as my main OS at the moment. Upon installation I found it faster and snappier than Windows 7. Whereas it has new desktop features such as File History, native blueray and USB 3, beefed up multi-monitor support and many other UI tweaks; most of the new features are focused for tablet devices.
That doesn't mean it is bad on a desktop or laptop PC though. Yes, it has changes and many more will come with 8.1, but once you've learned the ropes it is simple enough. By pinning nothing but desktop apps to my start screen, I don't even see most of the tablet stuff, only the start screen, which acts as a fullscreen start menu. Everything else occurs on the desktop since I don't use the tablet apps.
Personally, I never saw the huge fuss over Windows 8. It isn't perfect and I'm sure people and myself will find flaws with 8.1, but it is far from the disaster people like to make out. But some people still don't like it. And there is nothing wrong with Windows 7 either. Either or is fine, but I recommend 8.
