    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.

    Windows 8 is a pain in the ASS,! it seems more suited for phone or tablets, it updates continually
    XP any day.

    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

    Are they ever bringing the start windows back or is it gone forever? My parents recently got a laptop with Windows 8 and being old bless 'em, they cant bloody use the thing. When I took a look at it to me it looked like they got lazy and couldn't be bothered to adapt something designed for a tabley

    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 wtf is multi quote. Fuckin A folks...I'm a caveman. True story.

    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
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    I've found the perfect fix for 8.1...never ever use it They have the old school desk option now and FINALLY able to close open links as "x" and toolbar drops. The simplest shat was buggered with this thing, most definitely was not thought out.

    It reminds me of a old girl friend, lovely to look at and play with, but she
    was not a keeper.

    From now on I will either blow up Microsoft products, or else prove that I am non-US garbage supporting
    decency. Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook. These guys are the devil. Erase them. America needs to be erased out and the first way is to say these products sucks.

    There is a saying if it's not broke it does not need fixing, but 8 needs fixing with a hammer.
