There is no unbiased poll! If you go to windows 8 forums then all polls show that windows 8 is by far the most popular OS. The same applies with the other OS's. The reason being that the vast majority of people posting in these forums are people who like and use the pertinent OS. My idea of...

Although I simply dislike windows 8 I must agree with the posters who say that your problem is a rare one. I remember when I bought win7 and tried to install it on my desktop. Nothing worked. Win 7 absolutely failed each time to install. I tried to reinstall XP and it worked. I called MS and...

METRO and the lack of a start button are the main reasons I am selling my laptop with pre installed win8. I did not buy the laptop it was a gift for my birthday. I graciously accepted but after a week I decided that it will take too much modifications to make it work like win 7 with classic...

Have it your way folks. I though this was the Windows 8 discussions forum but I was mistaken. You must put a warning to all not to post any negative opinions on win8. This way you will not have any problems with naysayers as you can automatically ban them. I fear I am also close to a ban too...

For a start all the things I do not like about W8 are my opinions: I find win 8 to be totally Unintuitive. Secondly I find the lack of a start button to be a great disadvantage. Just these two are a game breaker for me. I agree that I did not spend enough time to get to know win 8 but at my age...

It all depends on how Disruptive behaviour is interpreted. This particular thread is about an OP who dislikes win 8 and is asking for honest opinions on this OS. Would not disruptive behaviour be when another poster attacks the OP and is vehemently opposed to any criticism on win 8? I am in...

Indeed but that kind of talk may get you banned here. You are required to say only nice things about windows 8. The only time you may criticise win 8 is when you need some help with some feature and even then you must be careful. Also I have all 3 OSs (XP, 7, and 8), the 8 came pre installed...

OK! I know this is a windows 8 only forum and absolutely no negative criticism of win 8 is allowed but really guys!!!! You won't accept anything wrong about win 8 as if you owned the rights to it! Anyway Best be moving on to another windows 8 forum where people actually discuss the negatives of...

It is common knowledge that PC sales are down and unlike previous years where a new OS release from Microsoft helped boost PC sales; Windows 8 has done the opposite. The problem is that new PCs come with win 8 pre installed. It would make more sense to either allow the buyer to choose between...

I think you are missing the point. Microsoft was allowed to become a MONOPOLY. It is through the Government's grace that they are allowed to basically rule the global OS market. This means that as a monopoly Microsoft is bound ethically to cater to her clients needs and not heavy hand her...

Actually my laptop has XP and it boots so fast that it makes 7 look like a snail. However 7 does offer many advantages over XP while XP's search is way more superior to 7. As for 8 I think I will pass. Stick with what works for you! :)

I agree with you up to a point. So long as win 7 continues to be supported by MS then there is not a problem.

"OS of their choice" is a contradiction in terms; Microsoft is basically a monopoly. One has no choice but to either buy Microsoft or Apple. (Coca cola or pepsi). I have software that only runs on windows and this pretty much forces me to use Microsoft OS's. To be honest if we had many OS's to...

Thanks for the news! This obviously means I will stay with win 7 :)
