Stop bragging you got the latest windows package.
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
9mm more like pewee.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

P.S. Win 8 sounds like a piece of shit.
Funny stuff, this place wouldnt be the same without the friction between you two.Quote:

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. :o

these are the steaks on the bbq at the ranch
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:
