    Stop bragging you got the latest windows package.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    when I bring up my 9 inch cock you can accuse me of bragging

    until then everyone stay well clear of windows 8. If you need a new laptop get one with 7 on.

    ps you stupid cunt Master

    Is there not a button on it saying desktop that makes it behave like 7/Vista/XP instead of the touchy tiles interface ? I am probably going to buy a new PC and am undecided on whether to use Windows 8 or 7 as the operating system. I know they both support hyperthreading but 8 is supposed to be much faster particularly when it comes to things like boot up time, so less time wasted waiting for Windows to start. Are you still finding 8 a pain in the arse or is it just teething problems ? that said, I am still running XP on my studio PC because of its solidity, tweakability and compatibility.

    I think Microsoft is having an identity crisis and trying to be like a tablet.

    but they are confusing the fuck out of everyone... I was gonna upgrade but after looking into it and checking out the videos out on youtube I decided against it bigtime.

    would still be interested in how you feel about it in a months time once you have gotten more used to it.

    I just bought 2 new Dell desktop computers this year, one for me and one for my wife, both are running win 7, which so far I like just fine. I probably won't update to win 8 for a few years, if ever.

    BTW Mark, how did you enjoy your visit to Texas and the U.S.?

    cheers

    It's still a nightmare

    I have to google how to do everything - even how to shut it down can you believe (four clicks now) !! And when you google it you will see there's loads asking same questions. There's no start menu which is confusing as fuck - I still have no idea how to find programs on there.

    I mean aren't these new interfaces supposed to be designed so you need little assistance ?? Who did the fucking UAT testing. If we ever introduce Windows 8 at work to 3000 users I will go off sick (I run the user support section at Leeds office)

    Apart from that do not get me started on the nightmare of transferring itunes !!! Took me about 4-5 hours to sort that and still have a few dozen tracks that itunes won't find (even though they are on pv)). Apple are cunts.


    Mars-ax : brilliant time mate. If it wasn't so far I would go again - especially staying on the ranch in Bandera which was the highlight. You ever done the ranch thing ?? Texans are the friendliest people ever. Thank god it clouded over after 4-5 days too as the heat was just unbearable !!

    I'm glad to hear you enjoyed yourself, the Austin/San Antonio area you visited is one the nicest places in Texas, so much history and so much to do. As for ranches, I have friends who own ranches, but if I go visit it's just a social/business thing, i'm not really into horses, herding/branding/breeding cattle, et al.
    Anyway, if you ever visit Texas again, let me know in advance and i'll meet with you.

    cheers

    P.S. Win 8 sounds like a piece of shit.

    Damn right Windows 8 is garbage.

    I had to do the same as Mark and Google how to close the damn thing down. Just something as simple as accessing the Control Panel requires a search online to figure out how to do it. And the whole app thing is pointless. Apps work on phones because they're easier than browsing the web, but why would I want a Trip Adviser app on my laptop when I can just go on the actual website? The only good thing is that it does boot up quicker, kinda like a tablet would.

    Mark, Texas is one place I really want to see. I love Vegas but really hoped that the Mayweather Pac fight would be at the Cowboys Stadium if it was ever made as I'd love to see it. Did you have a fat juicy steak?? I'd have to find out the Steak house that Adam Richman went to on Man V Food and try the 72oz.
