he was. and then he posted this (emphasis mine) http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/what-heck-happening-windows Paul Thurrott posted:When critics described Windows 8.1 as a step backwards, I disagreed: Responding to customer complaints is never wrong, I argued, and the new version of the OS made it more acceptable on the many different types of PCs and devices on which Windows now runs. With Update 1, however, I'm beginning to question the validity of this new direction, and am now wondering whether Microsoft has simply fallen into an all-too-familiar trap of trying to please everyone, and creating a product that is ultimately not ideal for anyone.

honestly the reasons people give me for upgraqding to 8 from 7 are this - better file copy dialogue um are you making GBS threads me? its not better because it still handles shiut the same lovely way. who cares what speed it is. still forces all subsequent copy actions to run concurrently - better task managaer like saying your pc case opens quicker to let you adjust the jumpers on your motherboard quicker - faster on slow systems ok this IS better but unnecessary for anyone on any kind of modern pc

8 is really great at booting fast. i have a laptop with a 7200rpm disk and it appears to boot faster than my win7 desktop that has an SSD in it but it's windows 8 and so i never use it unless i absolutely have to look at win8

i'm wait thurott on the win8.1 update 1 changes too imagine all your iPad apps grew window management controls just because "some people want to use a keyboard and mouse", you'd be a little offended right? though I think they did an okay job hiding them unless you absolutely need them (they don't appear unless you actually mouse to the top of the screen) the more i use GNOME 3, the more it feels like microsoft's old pre-Win8 vision of tablet-friendly computing, just with all the system-level changes necessary to make it as friendly as possible for input methods
