I don't get you.

shollynoob:
...but u once learnt Win95 at least I guess, Won't u do same for Win8?

zyzxx: i mean do u start operating computer wit window xp or which 1?

Victoriousvic:
Oh, yeah. I started with Windows xp.

zyzxx: ok. Not that window 8 is not Gud but the problem is it makes u a learner. And again what do u like about it??

Victoriousvic:
Everything, except the data it gulps due to the apps on the start menu or page.

I think I love its user interface more.

zyzxx: ok sir

Yeah bro.

shollynoob:

U n ur system na Bros

pimpc007: Even something as simple as shutting down Windows 8 is something you have to go to school for! That, my dear, is crappy.

pimpc007:

its not about time, if it were solely about how old the OS is, how do you explain the large adoption of W7 as compared to Vista?
Also, comparing phone OS adoption here is not really logical because phone OS upgrades have a very short life-span relative to PC upgrades (as a matter of fact I have used Android 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 in less than 12 months on the same phone). PC OSs take up to 4 years before new ones come out. Please explain to me why Vista had a relatively low adoption rate?

If u can't do a simple thing as right clicking the start button and shutting down on windows 8.1, then u shouldn't be handling a computer.

abatically:
Maybe it requires some learning curve but that is no biggy.

pimpc007:

sharp man, I was talking about shutting down in Windows 8, not 8.1. That screenshot is 8.1.
The argument is Windows 8. before you play smart next time, check and see what the argument is

On Your Own

funshyboi: since you know that, why are you meddling?

abatically:
Windows 8.1 is just a slight update from windows 8, not an overhaul like xp-win7-win8. 8.1 runs on windows 8 framework.

pimpc007:

You don't get it do you? The fact that there is even a slight update of Windows 8 (which is 8.1), then that means Microsoft noticed fundamental flaws which they rushed in to fix. There was never a Windows 7.1 and others before it, instead there were only the security fixes.

All these screenshots seem easy to you but if you were into software development you would appreciate the philosophy of simplicity of software better

Bawss1: ^ Of course we are users, who else is the OS made for if not the end user?

I have VLC media player working on my Win 8.1 device just fine. If you can't find an app in the Store you can still install the .exe file as you would on Win 7. With Win 8 you can install legacy applications as well as the mobile versions(if its available in the Store) How is this a bad thing?

Any company that is in need of an upgrade and refuses Win8/8.1 because of it's novelty needs to take a hard look at its IT department.

People are just spreading FUD about Win8.1

Bawss1:

Win 8.1 is an even much simpler system to use than Win 8, so unless people have insisted on not learning any new thing you have to wonder where all this noise is coming from.

After spending the past two years in damage control mode over Windows 8, Microsoft will officially begin a new era for its OS on Tuesday, when it’s expected to unveil a preview of Windows’ next major version during an event focused on enterprise customers.

After the success of Windows 7, Microsoft misread the market with Windows 8 and botched the product’s user interface, leaving a trail of many unhappy customers, especially in the consumer market.

Among businesses, Microsoft encountered much resistance to upgrade, as many CIOs clung to the very stable Windows 7, and took a pass on Windows 8 and its subsequent revisions, afraid that the UI, optimized for touch-screen tablets, would confuse their users, lead them to revolt and affect productivity.

So it’s not a surprise that the first look of the next generation of the OS—referred to unofficially as Windows Threshold and Windows 9—will be directed specifically at businesses.

MostIncredibleDFirst: Its a lie. You goofed! They have just released windows 10 which is similar to windows 8. All you old-school guys should learn to adapt to change or die trying! http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2014/09/30/microsoft-announces-windows-10/
