I'll tell you why I detest windows 8. And I goes along with the xbox. The interfaces suck. I want to start my computer to a regular desktop and I honestly miss the blades style menu on the Xbox. Every time I start either system I feel like alls I'm looking at is a bunch of adds and it just looks and feels like a clusterfuck. I know that you can start windows 8 to a kinda normal looking desktop. BUT when you click start, it just pops up that same crap that I'm trying to avoid. |

I absolutely despise the metro interface and can't stand the tile based system. I grew up on old school windows operating systems and just wish that they could have just updated windows 7 cause it was nearly perfect. |

Windows 8 is getting a patch that makes it act a bit more like 7 next Tuesday, April 8th. It does seem to be a tad more efficient in running things in my experience. I still like 7 though, since they're not shoehorning in what people asked for - it just works. |
| Jeff:
Classic Shell fixes everything about the metro screen, literally bringing the start menu back when you click start in full functionality and fully customizable. It's shitty that it isn't there from the start, but neither is steam, photoshop, firefox, your desktop background, or anything else. Go ahead and favor windows 7, whatever, but hating windows 8 because of an optional feature is silly in my opinion. |
