[tV] How Microsoft plans to teach the world to use Windows 8 - Page 8

In general, I don't like squirt bottles.

hey...was that...Was that supposed to be PUNNY?

Not at all, you're delusional Tee-hee.

I don't understand why people come into Windows 8-related threads to convey their opinion about how much they dislike it when we've heard the same tune hundreds times already.

You don't like it, we get it, move on already. Let these threads be for the fans/people who are interested in Windows 8

I personally can't wait to try out the RTM of windows 8

Yes, BizarreRide, we know you, you're always here to defend Microsoft's products. We respect that. But, alas, in a democracy you'll have to put up with criticism. If you want a walled garden where people will only say good things about Windows 8, this is surely not the place. This is a discussion forum. Implying in your last sentence that people who are criticizing Windows 8 are not interested in it is somewhat contradictory too. The fact is that Microsoft had to resort to putting the tutorial on how to use Windows 8 DURING the install process, which I remind everybody, is something they never did, and that is telling of the fear they have that people won't be able to work with it as soon as it boots the first time.

In any case, it appears Microsoft still didn't get it, so, until Service Pack 1 (or some emergency pack / patch / update, whichever comes first per financial results), why should we stop criticizing ? In any case there have been three publicly available versions of Windows 8 until now, and in each version Microsoft made a lot of changes to try to somewhat appease the critics, even though they insist on the main mistake, so why not persevere ? People who keep criticizing are making the point that the changes made in the last two versions are still not enough, and in some cases it's even worse now.

I think I can speak for everybody who criticizes Windows 8 that we do like the kernel improvements and would very much like to buy Windows 8, provided Metro is truly optional on the desktop / laptop. This is a free market. They want to sell a product, I want to buy it with certain specifications. I have every right to tell them that. And for anybody thinking they don't read this, I will remind that they own a search engine, and it would be foolish of them to not use that potential to gather people's opinions around the world instead of just reading their registered users on their forums.

I doubt that is because of the OS itself. There is simply no reason to upgrade anyways. Same happen to Vista and Window 7.

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure. Refrain people that have a different opinion than yours from posting on the internet, brilliant logic there. It's an open forum, people can post where they want and if its related to the topic.

The Metro never did bother me on windows 8. So I'd use it any way when it go to the stores, just not right away as There other things I wanna buy first. While giving Asus or uni xonar time to make working windows 8 drivers that has a working Xonar control panel and lucid to step up to make a windows 8 compabilty ver of there Lucid MVP Virtu.

I'm not getting windows 8 unless they ditch the Metro UI. No tutorial will change my mind on that, even if they allow me to play Xbox360 games on the desktop with it, I'll still not care.

Windows 7 might be the last OS from Microsoft I use unless they start going back to their original design with the start menu and taskbar defaults. By the time windows 7 becomes "obsolete" I'm hopeful that Linux will be more compatible with stuff, and be able to play most games. Then I will truly have no reason to purchase the next retarded OS interface they try and force on their customers.

I'm all for performance gains, and am glad they supposedly made lots with Windows 8, but could someone tell me why that must come with primarily a tablet UI?
