Here I am again still in the stone Age with technology and am diving into this windows 8.1. Last week the craptop and PC went ass end up at the same time and have been on mobile since. Have new desktop coming on Tuesday and from what I've seen of 8 I feel like I'm on acid. Way to over complicate something if there ever was one! Touch screem pc...wtf? What's the learning curve on it and does 8.1 really make that big of a difference?
No it's rubbish don't buy it. Send it back and buy an abacus or a speak and spell, they both feature way more intuitive operating systems.Quote:

Thats what I've been on forever but as of this week it's no longer supported. They def didn't think it through with 8, we'll see if this drive doesn't go skipping down the driveway this week ;DQuote:

Just picked up new pc and craptop one hour ago...sitting here with the feeling like I just ate half a sheet of bad acid and trying to learn this underwater.
Biggest fuck all within 10 minutes...why the FUCK can you not strictly use the 8.1 'old school' desktop feature without running into the new tab layout...both stay open and its right fucking confusing, like feuding inlaws. Likewise I think I've rediscoverd Saddo and things I could never get to work :-X wtf is multi quote. Fuckin A folks...I'm a caveman. True story.
The nightmares continue , updates fucking up my Skype, continually wanting to download drivers,
it's shittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.:mad:
I couldn't get skype to work on the windows 8 app - fucking shit
so i installed the desktop version.
Same as getting videos to play with the app shit - still wank
It keeps asking me to upgrade to 8.1 but everytime it gets so far and I get "Windows 8.1 Update has failed to install "
I've hated this laptop since day 1. Once it packs in I think I will try a mac
Updates all the time bring back Xp , I got a windows phone that's a pain in the ass as well.Quote:

It reminds me of a old girl friend, lovely to look at and play with,;D but sheQuote:
