Quoting Tattyhat, reply 30Win 8 a massive flop
To you maybe, and the rest of the haters who won't give it a chance, but to myself and millions of others, Windows 8 is a great OS that's fast and reliable... better than Win 7. And if my 80 y/o mother can learn to use it, then it can't be that hard to grasp... yet I keep hear twits moaning about how it's so hard to use/get accustomed to.
I say twits [and then I'm being polite] because my mother is only semi-PC literate and manages to use her Win 8 machine without too many issues. That, then, suggests to me there's a lot of so-called PC literate twits out there who prefer to whine rather than use the space between their ears for thinking and problem solving....
I could say more but it's probably best I exit the thread and leave you all with the following...
People are more Ovine than sheep a lot of the time.... meaning a handful of so-called experts put the mocker on Win 8 early, and the world stays away in droves... droves of sheep.
Bye.

It seems to have escaped you that many like myself have tried Windows 8 and hated it, and nothing to do with following the pack.
It maybe a little faster, but that is no consolation. Just idly surfing brings up one after another problems that people have with 8 and it's compatibility. It is simply vista 2, and all the arguments in the world will not change this. Even MS know that win 8 was a mistake, you can tell that by the way they are shuffling about.

Win 8 was a flop because of its GUI. After that Win 8 was a huge improvement over Win 7. With 8.1 I think I might go back as they improved the GUI.
More or less agree. I'm still running Win7 Pro 64-bit and it works for everything that I need it to do at this point. Win8 GUI was a huge turn-off for me. I skipped Vista and went from XP to Win7, fully expect to skip Win8 as well as there's not really a reason for me to upgrade at this point, at least not a large enough reason anyways.
