Back in Windows 7, Familiar Territory
Monday, March 3, 2014 by 3java3 | Discussion: Windows Discussion
Hey, it feels great to be back in Windows 7, after the disastrous adventure of messing around with Linux Mint Cinnamon 16. Ever hear of a system crash called FALLBACK MODE, and it's a loop, and you cannot seem to fix it or stop it or get out of it? Maybe I shouldn't have tried to install a cursor into the users/share/icons folder with elevated privileges.............. is it possible that Linux is overrated? Or am I in the wrong, and I did something I shouldn't?
oh well. It is what it is. Don't know if I will ever go back to Linux. Or if I do, just for Web Browsing.............

So Windows 8 wasn't designed to work on a dual core CPU with mutlti-threads? Interesting. And why is it professionals with the best hardware say Windows 8 is crap? Why are people avoiding Windows 8?
I used Windows 8 for about a week before realizing it ran slower, even with updates, on my machine so I went back to 7 naturally, as many here have done as well. However, I have used Windows 8 many times, and at length, on other computers I repair. Make fun of me if you wish, I care not.

I have yet to have Windows 7 crash on me for the first time.

Ironically Kona, it should have failed to install at all if those requirements aren't there.

Windows 8 installed just fine, ait just ran slow. I haven't tried 8.1 yet.

Nobody is making fun of you. I just don't believe you have any vast experience with Windows 8 to properly judge it.

Keep thinking that. You are wrong, but you will not admit it.

Spencer, this is true of most who say they don't like 8, or that 8 just plain sucks.
I still have 7 installed on 3 rigs, but I use 8.1 99% of the time, have now for around a year now.
I still like 7's GUI, but I prefer 8's quickness, performance, and 8 has several cool features that 7 lacks.
Kona, Spencer said "vast" experience with 8. Now really, if it was so slow for you, and by your own admittance in these forums, you haven't used it very long, due to it's slowness, and your dislike of it, how could you have "vast" experience with it.
That kind of experience comes from using 8, day in, day out, for a good while.
Please try to stop being so argumentative. It serves to make you look bad, man.

I repair computers almost every week with Windows 8. I know my way around Windows 8. I even know how to defeat the new BIOS those machines use to install 7. And just because it was slow on my machine didn't mean I explored it for some time before going to 7. However, if that means I don't have enough time using Windows 8, that's fine.

Not the same as using it on a daily basis. I repair PCs too.

Cool. I'll have to wait a year or so to get a PC running Windows 8 to make up a few opinions about 8 I guess. No worries!!

When I first read that, I missed one of the letters.

Well, i prefer linux than windows version, but the great problem in Linux is the compatibility with the majority of software that are done for Windows, and this cause makes bad the experience in linux.

Starkers you are a funny person. You think Windows 8.1 is an improvement.
How long have you used Windows 8 and 8.1 again?
