I can not express the anger I have toward MS and all the tech media who cravenly said windows 8 was good or ok or not really so bad. Like the mainstream media the tech media is also compromised by money and access. Pick ANY known tech person from Chris Pirillo to people at Tech Syndicate and all their sites and blogs - they ALL were suck ups. Windows 8 is probably the WORST OS revision MS has ever done bar none and now 18 months later the only place you hear the truth of it being a complete disaster is from personal conversations. I won’t even go into MS cripling and removing features with windows 8 that were an integral part of all past windows OS’s or the use of uefi bios on tablets and laptops, with intel’s hardware assistance, to prevent any other OS being installed or even live booted. The tech media is as worthless as the mainstream media.
I agree—it was a worse disaster than Vista.
I’ll admit to liking the touch screen on my Windows 8 laptop, but it’s really not worth all the quirks, hassles and problems that come with it.
