What in Sam hill are you guys doing with that abortion known as W8? I have a copy of W8.1 safety imprisoned in a Virtualbox virtual machine, from which it will never escape. At least Microsoft stole enough from Ubuntu to restore minimal function to the sub-operating system formerly known as Metro.
But Microsoft did NOT restore the start menu, so you're stuck with capet bombing your desktop with icons or using the search function to find programs by name, not the way humans work. What happened to the days when prompts let you know the possibilities of what the operating system and programs could do and we could operate sophisticated programs we aren't familiar with without cracking a manual?
Under that horrid shell lives a smaller faster and more capable kernel than Windows 7, but no one will ever care. Microsoft has well and truly screwed the pooch on this one! And we thought they'd never be able to top Windows 98 ME.
