I have to say this to someone. I am really disappointed with Windows 8. I upgraded from W7 after a great experience with my new W8 phone. I love the UI. Metro works great for me. I don't even mind that the Windows key is gone. It's the buggyness that I
can't get past. Take the mail app for example. It crashes every other email. I'm not kidding either. I delete one email. I delete the next and it crashes. Visual Studio takes 5 minutes (that's 313 seconds) to load, and I have 4 gig of RAM, a 7200 RPM drive
and an i3 chip. Then I run a simple app in VS and my network simply disappears! W8 hangs at least once a day, some days several times. It is completely unresponsive for about 10 minutes. Yesterday I got a sad face, apparently the "blue screen of death"
for W8. After 0% collecting some stats for 35 minutes, I hard powered off my PC and rebooted. Back to the same screen. Bummer. Had no choice but to wait. One hour later it finally returned. This afternoon I booted and my PC hung for 15 minutes. Almost completely
unresponsive. The tiles won't work. The Task Manager won't open. Control-Alt-Delete gives me choices but they simply return me to the home screen and do nothing. I am so done with W8. So done with it. It is WAY worse than Vista ever was. Please tell me that
Microsoft understands there is a problem and that they are diligently working on a fix.
