Everything is annoying on W-8. The right side pop up commands are annoying. They don't show up when you need them and always do when you don't want them too such as trying to scroll a page. IE 11 is another problem. I had to give up on it and go to Pale Moon. Pale Moon works great and IMO is far better than IE11. No more browser crashers. IE 11 was crashing or nor opening pages several times an hour. IE 11 is not Window Friendly meaning Tabs on or crash.

W-8 should have never been released by MS as a desktop/laptop OS. MS also changed a lot of terminology on W-8 which added more to the confusion. Having never used a computer before just WEB-TV I was using W/98SE in a matter of a few hours to where most of my time wasn't spent trying to locate program functions or files. W/ME I bought the upgrade disk on my 98/2 was a pathetic joke. I could not even in safe mode stop the OS from writing to the HD so Disk Scan and Defrag could be accomplished. I uninstalled W/ME.

W/XP took me an hour or two and was stable. Three computers running XP and only one reformat in ten years between the three combined IMO is an outstanding stable OS. I didn't buy W/7/ because W/XP met my needs.

W/8 made me cuss fuss and took literally weeks to get set up & used too because they played hide and seek with programs, files, and other functions. Windows also went to an APPS set up on W/8. Functions that came with XP were no longer there such as a decent Mail Client. But MS would rent you one though. I would have been forced to fork over about $100 to MS just to regain access to many of my text documents had it not been for LibreOffice Program which is free and not MS.

W/8 was like going onto a car lot with money to buy a mid size car as you had done in years past and the dealer saying here's your Yugo and they stripped out everything you need including windshield wipers you could rent. But I want a mid size sedan that's equipped? You'll take the Yugo, buy options we offer you, and you'll like it. Our corporate office says so. If I seem anti MS {remember I bought four previous machines with successful stable releases and had no complaints} my complaints are only about proven bad OS designs that MS purposely released for the sake of a release. The designers of W/8 and the QA department who vetted it should have been fired. MS should have pulled it using W/7 as replacement and started over.
