So can you please explain to some of us how we are able to use it with no problems?
You guys keep having to amp up the ridiculousness in your explanations in order to give you a reason why you cant figure it out, and never once realize that it may just be a personal problem and not a design flaw.
I have a manufacturing machine shop that relies on CNC machinery, PC based inspection equipment, robots, large format plotters, and a huge variety of equipment that runs on PC windows based computers that have been stable and standardized since Win95. The engineering and manufacturing industry dropped UNIX for windows about 15 years ago. Try retooling an entire shop floor sometime.
I also have 10s of thousands of dollars of software that runs in the Windoze environment. (CATIA MasterCAM AutoCAD) that all rely on stable work platforms that have been pretty standard since Win XP.
With win 8’s disregard for standards they have used for 20 years it is a MASSIVE and expensive change that should never have happened. Sure, if you love windows 8 I invite you to give me 100s of thousands of dollars for new equipment to be compatible with win8. I’ll send you a shopping list. I also welcome you to cover my cost of training a dozen employees that must now be retrained to operate in the win8 world. Oh yeah, please don’t forget to reimburse me for the lost productivity while these changes are made while I install the new machinery you’ll be buying for me.
