remember when you forgot your speakers were turned up really loud and you decided to get on the family computer late at night and the windows login music shat out loud enough to make the dog bark gently caress windows noises

In my teen years I threw a Windows ME computer through my wall. My mom was not happy but she understood.

So what exactly made 8 so much better than 7, assuming you just got through clearing up whatever annoying UI kinks.

I had it happen a few times when I did though and wasn't pleased with the functionality for startup repair at all. It all felt like a huge step backwards to me E: I don't care how stable something is people will break it because they are bad at computers Pendent fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Apr 7, 2015 |

It did end up having a hosed up hard drive as I think about it. It was also much more annoying to diagnose than it needed to be. Oh yeah. gently caress windows. Cisco 4 lyfe.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:people don't want the start menu back that's a complete misunderstanding by the tech media and Microsoft, they want to get rid of the horrible full screen interface you have to look at every time you open an application with Windows key plus first three chars of the application name the start screen is actually pretty unobjectionable to me; i like being able to group poo poo and since they patched in the proper right click menus and desktop wallpaper as the background it feels less jarring. the real problem is everything else to do with the metro poo poo. the weird charms bar with its horrible clunky hot corners and the huge, unwieldy, carpal tunnel inducing mouse movements necessary to interact with any metro app. that and and if you perform any window management at all (moving them around) the metro interface destroys any muscle memory you had and actually feels weirdly offensive also the metro branding was actually ok and they really should've come to a deal with whoever they nicked it off, what with the current names for it being either unofficial and a sentence long [see: 'the interface formerly known as metro'] or official and utterly useless [see: 'windows apps']

My parents went and bought a Windows 8.1 PC without consulting me when their win7 PC died even though I could have shipped them a really good refurb from work for free. I loving hate 8.1 and it confuses me despite the fact that I've been doing IT for well over a decade. I got teamvierer installed and the files from their old PC in the right spots but gently caress me I'm not touching it anymore. By the time I actually get that thing running well either they or my bro in law will gently caress it up anyway and have to use the system restore.
