They also have introduced all sorts of compatibility issues. Only newer Office versions are supported, thus those that hate the look and feel of the newer Office products are stuck with a bum deal – and have to pay for the privilege.

There are issues with other products, including Microsoft’s own products. Menus disappear, Web Access Server is confused about fonts, print content and much more.

I hope this terrible OS fails. It will take massive efforts by Microsoft to rescue any remaining trust in it and its products. Time for a prosecution I think.

Is this the last straw that breaks the back of Microsoft’s monopoly?

Fine by me. They are asking for it.

ive used ms products since there inception

this is bad, bad, bad

using a pc now is a such a chore i avoid doing so as much as possible. my ipad gets a lot more attention

every task takes longer. ms office 2010 compared to 2003 adds more features but is harder to use

ie 10 is a disaster. finally deleted it to return to firefox

i deleted bind after 2 days. got tired of all the advertisments

i doubt i will ever buy another ms product again

what a total piece of crap

Stupid tech people change and move everything. this is like playing a game where you have to find hidden doors to access other worlds

I would fire people who designed it .

As you can see, first impressions are not always the most correct. I have been using windows 8 since day 1 of the Consumer Preview. I set that thing up on a Dell Dimension 4700 with a pentium 4 processor. And guess what? It launches even faster than LINUX on THE SAME COMPUTER! Also, I have done extensive testing of applications from previous versions of windows, and EVERYTHING has worked flawlessly. People say Steam doesn’t work on it, but that can’t be true cause I got it working on that ancient Pentium beast that was originally XP, and steam didn’t even work on XP when I was testing it!

Interestingly enough, I was at a family reunion the other day here. At that reunion there were 2 cousins who had surfaces (They work at Microsoft, got them free) and showed them to the family. No one had ever seen them before (Except for me) and were absolutely amazed by the idea of a REAL computer in a TABLET form. All except one, who was an Ipad freak and refused to even look at it, and just said loudly “only thing is, the Ipad came up with it years ago!”

Which isn’t even true, you can’t even access the system files of an iPad, much less use a Bluetooth mouse or have a real word processing application. Business-wise, the surface is cheaper, more powerful, and has support for legacy applications, which is far less than the iPad, or even the galaxy’s, can claim to have.

Understand that MS = 98% of the market and if they want it this way its gonna happen..frankly its just time to give in… or get out..

Windows Vista/ Windows 8… its there 3rd OS released since XP and its not gotten better…
I will stick with an OS I don’t have to relearn to do the same things I was doing before.. WHY…WHY put yourself through it….WHAT are the advantages???

Stick with semi workable Win7 or fully functional workhorse XP and get your work DONE!
