I bought a Dell laptop for my wife, it came with W8, I sent it back after 3 days. After a week of looking, I found the same machine with W8 and bought it.
W8 wanted me to abandon my POP3 email I had for over 20 years, save my stuff to the “cloud”, and there was no start button.
I’ve figured out every version since W3.0, but this new thing was totally unusable for me. I have no patience for those who change things just for the sake of change.
In short, Windows 8 sucks!
I despise the “cloud”.
It is unsecure for client data. No way to guarantee privacy. It is just a marketing game that windows has been stuggling for years. How does MS may an OS that has a monthly bill for the regular consumer.
All these OS competitors are trying to replicate the closed system of itunes. It is a no sale scenario.
I understood win 8 had a win 7 skin available.
