I Bought a new machine last month with 8.1. I refuse to ever again purchase any device or program MICROCRAP developed until they pull 8 off the market and return to an XP or W-7 type format OS. W-8 for anyone {any many are still out there} who must use dial up service W-8 is a nightmare.

MICROCRAP made several major mistakes with W-8. The put a Tablet OS out as a desktop OS. They installed CLOUD which can not be disabled. On limited speed and Metered Usage MICROCRAPS CLOUD eats up Bandwidth. The "THIS PC" Window stinks and is a PITA to navigate and figure out where they hid commands. The darn Font on it is way too small with no means to increase it.

WINDERS 8 MISTAKE should have never been released for PC's. Their answer is an 890 MB download. This Pig already in GB's has nearly triple updates and patches that XP had over it's entire life and they still can't fix it.

Try “Classic Start Menu” or a similar download

WINDERS 8 MISTAKE should have never been released for PC's.

But what they did was to require the major resellers (Best Buy, Staples, OfficeMax, etc.) to ship back unsold Windows 7 packages as a condition of placing Windows 8 on their shelves.

That means that you cannot just go out and buy Win 7 if you don't like Win 8.x

That's a marketing crime, IMHO.
