Windows 8

that OS is basically a glorified tablet instead of actual pc that you bought.
This basically makes it the only OS i hate.
I dislike how it displays my pictures. I miss the old photo gallery style.

Uninstall and get W7 Ultimate. Or XP.I'm actually considering uninstalling it and getting w7 ultimate.
As for XP, nah that's too old, i have moved on from xp long time ago although i do miss it at times xD
Reading up on windows 8 and everything atm. I somehow missed the release of windows 8 and even my tech obsessed friends did not even mention it at all. So far, I can see how its so damn hated. Alot of important basic features is gone.

Windows 8.1
Yeah but it's still a preview though.. seems like it hasn't been finished for sure yet. IDK i'm hungry, lunch calls.
Its obvious that bad product is bad when I have known about vista and windows 7 months in advance before they came out, windows 8 was... deadly silent. I didn't even know what it was until I had the new laptop itself. <_<.

Windows 8 has nice a nice window skin though. So smooth.
But yea switch to 7. 8 only makes me confuse.

I actually like the interface Windows 8 provides even for desktop usage and I'm a pretty advanced user. Use the search function to access apps, files and system settings. All you have to do is press the Windows key, start typing you'll get a list of applications, system settings and files.
You could also follow these steps to give it the familiar feel of Windows 7:
Step 1: Use Classic Shell to implement an even better start menu than Windows 7 had. Nifty status bar too.
Step 2: Schedule a task to run explorer on login which will force windows to boot straight to the desktop.
Step 3: Do some real research about the benefits of Windows 8 as a desktop operating system and the improvements that have been made over Windows 7. Learn how to actually use the new features it has.

Two wrongs don't make a right yo.
Just because the start button apparently saw a decline in usage doesn't mean it's ok to take it away from people that still use it.
And the process of locking or shutting down this laptop is ridiculously long when compared to my previous computers. Even shutting down my smartphone is faster than this laptop.
If microsoft think of me as a luddite for wanting the start button back, so be it. Lack of it bothers me.
And there's alot of new start button choices popping up, I'm still deciding on what I want the most atm so this might end up unexpectedly a good thing. Like a gain in customization options.

Hm, not sure why your computer is taking so long to lock or shut down, mine locks pretty much instantly and it's got some terrible, terrible specs. Did you make sure to uninstall all of the bloatware that the manufacturers provide?

No.... you have to go to charm bar then click setting then click shut down or option b, go to damn new fangled start menu then click on computer name then click lock then finally click shut down.
While the old start button was like click start then click shut down or lock and yer done. That's the problem.
Old way is far more instantaneous than the new way no matter how much microsoft try to cover it.
