What is so good about it? The fact that I can't find all of the software on my machine with a simple "Start" menu, the fact that I have to install the same app for each account (shared family computer), or the fact that even though some apps are installed, I can't get them to show up on every account?
I’m just saying.
I had to upgrade by PC recently, it was just getting too slow on any site but FR. So I finally broke down and upgraded. Nothing too fancy, but it had the newer operating system.
I like it quite a bit, the interface seems much more like Linux, than traditional Windows.
All that said, I’m using Linux now, but I think Windows really hit a winner with 8.1.
It seems ... well I like it is all.
You are welcome to take issue with my experience, but I think it is a big step forward for Windows, and I compliment them.
YMMV.
Most of us manage just fine.
Go find a tutorial or ask questions, because that is what you will be doing with a Mac or Linux machine, despite the nonsense from people making it seem like it is fool proof.
You can find all your software using the file explorer icon in the taskbar. You can find all your system features and programs using a Windows key + X command
That is a simply fix. Just install Classic Shell. http://www.classicshell.net/downloads/
