My comment was motivated by amusement over your gruntle not being dissed. The topic of the thread deals with market share, not whether to upgrade or not. Do issues of control arise elsewhere in your life as well?
That notwithstanding, Windows 8 is a silly GUI born of a faulty premise. No patch or upgrade short of ditching the McDonald’s cash register look and function of it will address this fundamental flaw.
Classic Shell addresses it. 8.1 does not.
Still personal, and still no real statement related to my posts about, if you have 8, upgrade to 8.1.
From that post, I would have to guess you oppose updating 8, although you won’t say it clearly.
