Windows 8!!!!!!!!!

see guys..
using windows 8 since one month..
i don't like it, although my computer is giving a good performance.
But i still support win7, and soon switching on it.
Problem with win 8 is that many software's are not supported on it.

Moving to a more multitasking-oriented environment? Did you know that studies show, depending on the types of simultaneous tasks, you are unable to efficiently or effectively perform two similar (and maybe not so obviously similar) tasks simultaneously? Much less the several other tasks people will try to do at the same time on a computer, making it take longer to complete all your tasks than it would if you just did one task at a time.
 
First days of win 8 is shit. Then, you start to learn it, work with it, sort everything in the metro ui and then you stuck and in love with it. The ones saying you work slower with it, you don't know how to use it. I hated the look and they way it worked in the beginning but now i would never switch back to win 7. Take time and learn it and you will enjoy it. :)
 
I just got new laptop with windows 8 .. and the first 10 minutes I was pissed off because it really is unfriendly to find things initially especially when your so used to using XP and Win 7.... but after a couple of days I like it - and hopefully they keep improving it further.

As far as the tiles go - just go to desktop from the Tile and it operates as per normal.
 
I just bought a Windows 8 laptop as a gift for someone and found the new interface klunky. No problem, for $4.99 I downloaded and installed Stardock and I have my Windows 7 Start Menu back including the errant shut down button -hey I got to support this sucker. Even better I can boot directly into the desktop and avoid the Metro craplets altogether. I miss Aero however; the present flat interface looks like Windows 3.1! The rest of Windows 8 appear stable and quick.
 
I tried windows 8 on a laptop I have laying around and I had no real interest in it because it just reminded me of my Windows phone which I dislike because of the lack of apps and things I could do with it lol.

I understand MS has the largest marketshare and sh*t, I also understand they know not everybody that has to accomplish actual work bought the bs of "we're all tabletizing ourselves and the globe"... Fair enough. But, do you remember at school when they said I appreciate the efforts they're making, then they said but [some complaint here]... I need to DO sh*t on a computer, I need something to type in NOT shiny tiles for r*t*rds or buttons with flashy rounded corners (there must be some apple employee too on here..), editors to crank out code, shortcuts, ways to streamline my WORK flow (again, notice the word WORK here?). That's what an OS for a PC should provide. I'm sorry this doesn't bring ANY of that to the table. There was a time, a LONG time ago, when -as a guy who worked extensively on most operating systems including netware, solaris and a lot others- I was excited to read about rumors coming out of Redmond of groundbreaking new sql-like filesystems that would revolutionize the storage on the consumer and server world or even -I'll admit- some new coding paradigms/languages, I followed the script guy column religiously. But that was a long time ago, a glorified fisher-price gui won't do that, sorry. If I want a toy I'll go buy an xbox or an ipad not a computer, that doesn't seem hard to understand. Maybe, since you work for Microsoft you should consider hiring some CEO/CTO with the glimpse of innovative vision Microsoft lost a long time ago. Maybe that will help us wowing things once again. Thanks.

sirgold, forgive me for disagreeing, but the reason that Microsoft, and Apple for that matter, are making computers "Flashier" and "Shinier" is so that people who aren't computer literate yet can become so, and so that those who are computer literate can spend more time working than doing things the long way. Personally, while I can work on something that doesn't have the "flashy" graphics and "fisher-price" GUI, I prefer to work on something where it's easy for me to differentiate between "Oh, is that a button, or a textfield? I can't quite tell with these piss-poor graphics". IDEs are very useful, I find, because instead of having to spend a week rereading through several hundred lines of code to find what's making my Android app malfunction, I can just look and see "Oh, the problem's at line so-and-so". Thus I AM able to get more work done in a shorter amount of time. Just because something doesn't fit the particular brand of innovative or revolutionary that you concentrate on doesn't mean that it is worse or less functional than what you are used to. If it allows me to crank out more product and make more capital, then it is better in my book.

I have Win8 and it took me a minute to get used to the controls but now I love it. Pretty great. The app clutter, like you said, kinda sucks, but they are movable and removable.
 
I have Win 8 and it definitely takes some getting used to. The "Start" button is gone, at least it's not where you'd expect it. You can get to it by putting your cursor in the upper right corner of your screen, but who would think to do that?

There are also touch-screen features which I have yet to use. If I want to use touch-screen stuff, I'll just use my iPad.

It also boots to the infamous "Metro" screen which consists of "tiles." You have to perform an extra click to get to your desktop which I don't like.

I'm not saying I hate it, but it definitely takes some getting used to.
