Who Uses Windows 8?

[rashavi]

I cannot stand Windows 8. I will NEVER use it on any of my computers. If Microsoft wants to keep my business after W7 gets old and I want/need to upgrade then they will have to go back to their roots and release a desktop friendly OS.

Free and cheap startmenu Programs like Classic Shell Pokki, and, Start8 add a startmenu to Windows 8, and let you set Windows 8 to login to the desktop.

In the newest version of Windows 8 called 8.1, there is boot to desktop, and the startbutton which helps with using Windows 8 on a regular desktop.

Windows 8.1 is more usable on regular desktop in my experience after I pin my most used programs to the taskbar, and add shortcuts to the desktop, and startscreen desktop.

Windows 7 is better. I rather that or Macbook Pro! (Which is the king of all computers)

I really prefer Windows 7 but I,m stuck using 8 for now 🙁

I like it. Don't have a problem with it to be honest. 🙂

I just recently started using Windows 8. I'm not a huge fan of it but I don't mind it. It do like having all the apps on one panel though. It just takes some getting used to like most new things.

I'd rather stick with what I have and use windows 7. It's just a matter of habit.

I'm using Windows 8.1 on my new laptop and really love it. There's no difference for me when accessing the desktop as previous versions of Windows. However, the apps are taking awhile to get used to.

At first I resisted as I did not want to create a Microsoft account but now that it's out of the way I'm enjoying Spotify and Next Issue apps.

The camera app is lots of fun to play with.

Didn't take Microsoft long, Now they have Windows 10 coming out soon.

Personally, I really dislike 8. It's the reason my laptop broke the first few weeks of having it: an update failed, messing the whole Windows 8 partition into a infinite "could not boot" message that would not go away even if I tried to repair it.

I ended up just loading a new copy from MSDN, as ASUS wanted to send my laptop all the way out to California, despite having a repair warehouse in MY STATE.

I wouldn't get too comfortable with Windows 8. Windows Technical Preview is already out for beta. 😛

Windows 10, here we come! And yes, they skipped 9...

 

[AlexTheGenius]

I may switch to it, just to try it.

KarmOS (my OS) will be out in a few months though, once I finish making the software packages. 🙂

 

[ineedaupc]

have 8.1 on my systems, it's not so bad once I'm at the desktop 🙂

Windows 10 looks good 8 is alright but get's annoying with some things like having to install a start menu yourself...

 

[shreddedbullet]

I don't use Windows 8, and I don't like it either. I like Windows 7 and will be sticking with it until I am forced to upgrade, but hopefully Windows 10 will be good. Also, I probably would use Windows 8 over Mac's OS, mainly because I can't stand Mac's Operating System. It's way to limited in my opinion, and since I'm a game developer my programs I use won't be compatible.

I use Windows 8 on my work's laptop... and I can't stand the interfacing at all. My personal, custom built PC has Window 7, which I definitely prefer. I run into too many issues with 8 and it is really not user friendly. At least, not on a laptop. Maybe on a tablet I can see it being useful, but it does not feel like a computer interface to me.

 

[Cedric]

I do. Can't wait for 10 though.

 

[David S]

I do it is so fantastic. Great and fun lol. The look is great.
