Why does Windows 8 suck?
Hi
My dad keeps ranting that since he changed to windows 8, a new machine, he cant get anything to work.
He says it's unusable.
The university is refusing to buy windows 8, even. - UNC
He wants to go back to 7.
What is the deal here? I am a Mac user, even tho I briefly worked for MS.
Thanks

Why are you asking US this? Ask HIM this. Ask him for specifics. Then you can us how to work around those specifics... The start menu may not bother him at all, it may be the Reader App if all he does is read PDFs.
But asking US why your father has a specific opinion? Doesn't make sense to me.

Windows 8/8.1 does not bite. It's beautiful. Install "Classic Shell" from < www.classicshell.net > (as Dan Craciun mentioned above) and set it to boot Windows 8/8.1 up directly to desktop and use a Start Menu (Windows Classic, XP, 7 like) and the 'discomforts' will be minimized.
Just my 2 cents,there's an old saying about you never miss what you never had and M$ has just learned a lesson from Henry Ford when he said they can have any color car they want ,as long as it's black.
It's about choice and a lot of folks dislike not being given a choice.

What Microsoft has learned or not, only Microsoft knows.
What choice have I now and how best to select the best-choice-for-me given the market is the question for me?
Thanks and Regards.

The free shell menus are OK,but not the same.
That's the easiest path for right now.

Anyone tried the 8.1.1 update from today? It's supposed to be more 7-like...
As long as one doesn't control the market to produce the product-to-my-liking, pgm55, no harm in playing the best game with the cards in hand?
Still waiting, Dan Craciun; have been trying Windows Updates periodically. By tomorrow, perhaps.

I've installed the upd1 on 4 systems and no,it's not more W7 like.
It's just more windows dressing.
