Re: Windows 8

why does everyone hate windows 8 so much? i like it. though i don't really have it, but i do want to upgrade. either that or get a 7" netbook with windows embedded ce 6.0. i don't know why i would take a miniature laptop that runs an os with not that many features, but at least it has the desktop interface that we all know and love, the sidebar gadgets, the start menu, and solitaire. i like solitaire.

Re: Windows 8

I have used it for nearly a month now. It is not glitchy. It is good as windows 7. Metro is GOOD once you know how to use it properly.

Re: Windows 8

I'm posting from Windows 8 on a friend's computer, and I love this OS. It takes sometime to figure out, I'll grant, but overall this is great! Microsoft has definitely risen to the standards that Apple has set.

For phones. (By the look of it)
Don't get flamey, it looks like IOS stuffed in an iMac to me, without using it.

Re: Windows 8

A friend told me it isn't very good. I'm not sure but some of its features looked pretty cool to me. What do you guys think?

Re: Windows 8

I'm using it currently, and it's definitely better than Vista, but worse than Windows 7.

It's not hidden, just on auto-hide.  It'll show up if you move your mouse the to bottom-left of the screen.

@meew0: It's not worse than Windows 7; first Windows 2000 came out, but that's incredibly old, so Microsoft made XP.  Than that was old, so they made Vista.  But Vista wasn't a great OS, so they made Windows 7.  Windows 7 was perfection.  So now Microsoft is actually advancing and making a new operating system since there's nothing left to perfect.

That seems pretty neat actually. I'm currently using Windows 7.
