My old computer died and i desperately needed a reliable computer asap. I went out to buy one and found that Microsoft basically took all of the Windows 7 ones off the Market. So i dropped 400 dollars for a new computer that has everything i need in hardware.
The problem. I hate Windows 8. I truly despise it. I need a functioning computer. Not a tablet. The user interface is an absolute mess. I am fully capable of working it, i have a tablet. But having to click three or four or five buttons just to get somewhere
on my computer is utterly ridiculous. I do not need tiles, and i don't want them. I like windows. Believe it or not they do actually work better. I am aware that there is "classic looks" ways to get start buttons, etc. I do not however feel like i should have
to put a band aid on that disaster just so it will work the way i need it too. Not to mention there are programs i need that will not operate in Windows 8. Thanks to that stupid mess i'm late on an important project for work. Why? Because i had to spend hours
reformatting it to try to make it function like a computer instead of some touch screen nonsense tablet. I do not want Windows 8. Not only is the user interface a mess, but the drivers and programming is a total nightmare. Instead of easily being able to navigate
and fix things i had to call in my experts. After hours of very tech savvy men attempting to give me Windows 7 so i could actually function in the corporate world, only to discover IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE. I spent 400 dollars to find out my brand new computer
is not compatible for what i need it for. Worse yet, because of this ridiculous Windows 8 push it is virtually impossible to find a decent new computer that won't cost me another one to two hundred dollars just to get an operating system that is good. I really
don't want to have to switch to mac, i think it's overpriced and overrated but at least on Macs i can actually get windows 7. I watched the tutorial videos. I customized it to wazoo. I tried to like it, but i'm done. I refuse to jump through any more hoops
for an OS that in all honesty is ****. So. When is Windows 7 or something similar coming? Is Windows 7 or an os with actual windows and no more metro interface coming?
