rainbow_pocky 37 Posted January 3, 2013 For me Windows 8 is pretty annoying. While I love the speed, easiness, and versatility it can get pretty annoying at times. For example, the constant switching of screens (sometimes) when you are moving the mouse. Also, I don't like how spread out everything is and the "app" look up when you are typing (sometimes). Other than that Windows 8 is okay and I have no problems with viruses and stuff like that. *I have an Asus computer if you wanted to know 1 FireRubies1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spectrum of Life 188 Posted January 3, 2013 Haven't had much time to use it, but I didn't like what I got to try. The other panels and the interface don't really offer anything I would use on a regular basis, and the whole windows store mess leaves me wary of supporting it at all.

Hei 3,233 Posted January 3, 2013 It's bad if you are a regular gamer, I mean...no Steam? COME ON MICROSOFT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tails 6,692 Posted January 3, 2013 From what i heard it's very terrible compared to Windows 7. Especially for gamers, hear there's no Steam on Windows 8, which is why I'm glad i still have windows 7. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AntonioKHT 449 Posted January 3, 2013 No idea, I don't have it! But it must be bad when it's about gaming, Windown 7 already had some problems, I could imagine 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Think Pink 1,967 Posted January 3, 2013 My new laptop came with it. I can't stand windows 8. I don't even understand why they made it--the old version was fine. 1 FireRubies1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sora96 17,256 Posted January 4, 2013 Have you used Windows 8 with a touch-screen? If you haven't you can not comment on it. Windows 8 is designed to be used with a touch-screen as this how a lot of things are going. Get used to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4Everbee 1,365 Posted January 4, 2013 Meh, I'm not a gamer, so it's pretty good for me. Annoying yes but not to bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windows 8 is designed to be used with a touch-screen as this how a lot of things are going. Get used to it. Although Windows 8 was designed to be used with touch screen, they are making laptops (and other things that I have no knowledge of) with this feature and it is pretty annoying to those of us that have to use it. So yes, I can comment on it because I am an actual user of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So yes, I can comment on it because I am an actual user of it. Laptops with touch-screens? They've had those for awhile now. If you don't want to use Windows 8 use Windows 7. It's that simple. You can't comment on Windows 8 until you use it with a touch-screen. If you use Windows 8 without a touch-screen It's kinda like watching a Blu-ray on an analogue or SDTV.

Think Pink 1,967 Posted January 4, 2013 Laptops with touch-screens? They've had those for awhile now. My laptop isn't a touch screen and it has Windows 8. It's awful If I somehow touch the keypad wrong, it'll pull something up and it won't go away. If I try to use the Internet explorer icon on their idea of a "Start menu", it takes you to this weirdly formatted version. It also screws up Skype and basically everything else. It might work okayish for touchscreens, but for their non-touchscreen laptops, it's annoying as heck, 1 rainbow_pocky reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sora96 17,256 Posted January 4, 2013 It costs more to have a touch-screen, which is why they sell it without touch-screens. You could always change your current screen with a touch-screen if you wanted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
