If you don't grow and learn your become stagnant, stagnancy breads ignorance, ignorance and arrogance is the down fall of any society. Just saying.
LoL, I have listened to that for years from people that only half way know what is going on. It's like really? You really want to predict something like that? *facepalm* I really believe that Futurama had it right and there will be a Windows 3K. Like it or hate it, the fact still remains that Windows 8 is the start of a new level and outlook for computing. People can either stop complaining and crying about it and learn to use it or get left in the digital dust. Before any one says anything, I didn't say any one had to like it, I just said learn to use it. Technology wont stop changing and evolving, and neither should it have to. It is our jobs as people to change and evolve along with it. If you don't grow and learn your become stagnant, stagnancy breads ignorance, ignorance and arrogance is the down fall of any society.

You can't work anymore because there's no start menu?
In a free market economy, it is the consumer that has the purchasing power and the decision making capability to buy an operating system or not to, and to modify it in any way they want, under licensing guidelines. Therefore, I do not agree with this sentiment. If people do not like the Start Screen UI, they don't have to like it. It doesn't mean they're in the stone age, it just means they don't want to reach 3 feet across their desk to start mashing on their 27" HD monitor. Or has consumer choice become a forgotten value in the desktop operating system market? Why would that beLoL, I have listened to that for years from people that only half way know what is going on.

This is an unfair assessment. Windows 8 does not force anyone to use a touchscreen. It works just as well, if not better, with a keyboard and mouse. My dual 24" monitor system ain't got no touch, and it works just fine for me.In a free market economy, it is the consumer that has the purchasing power and the decision making capability to buy an operating system or not to, and to modify it in any way they want, under licensing guidelines.

Your post makes it sounds like the user has to have touch in order to use 8. This is simply not factually correct.
Then can you please tell me how the following screen hinders your workflow?Good for you. Not for me.

I regret nothing I ever say, I think before I speak, but I do miscommunicate my ideas and it seems I have done that here. No one is above change, it is something we all have to deal with. Being a college drop out isn't a factor in my opinion. I never made a grade in school over a 50, I am a three time college drop out and now have an associates. I may have started late and been a screw up for a long time, but I am doing now and am looking at doing more. My down falls where my problems, not the accumulation of lots of other factors. I think I understand what goodintentions is saying, something along the lines of...be smarter than the device you are using...LoL I agree with the idea that not every one has to like it, but don't blame your inability to use it on that one thing that has changed. My main thought is that when people are closed off to change and are not willing to work with it then that is ignorance and arrogance, the way I see it. When it comes down to it, newbie, experienced, IT, accounting, Veteran, Professional, Master, and every one on this forum all started off in the same place with the change, we all had to over come the same obstacles, but the ones that do are the ones that try to. Don't get me wrong, not every one has to be the IT of the year and know everything about it, but try a little, and if you get stumped and just cant, then call in for some back up, it never hurts to say I need help. I plan on being here for a while, I have already asked for help once and am sure I will again. Oh and Mike, awesome picture, I near wet myself LoL
You failed to think this time before you speak. You are assuming that we don't know our way around with 8. The issue is about "not liking" it and not about "not knowing how to use it".
I did. I learned how to make it work like Win 7. God bless the Classic Shell developers. Classic shell made Win 8 more efficient. I don't want a fancy interface. I just want a fast & efficient system.So you knew every thing there is to know about Windows 8 the very first time you booted it...you didn't learn a single thing after you turned it on for the first time?

What are you talking about? Windows is windows. The only big difference is the interface which I prefer not to use.That reflects nothing on your knowledge of Windows 8...only that you can use other software to make the OS you are using work the way you want it to...that is not a bad thing, and in another respect shows your ability find an answer to a question...but still has no reflection of your knowledge of Windows 8.

"I just want a fast & efficient system."
Windows 8 IS very fast & efficient! And does not need things like Classic Shell.
Windows 8.1 is even faster. Both are more quicker and efficient than prior Windows OSs.
The OS can , also, easily be used w/out ever visiting the Start or ALL Application screens or giving Tiles any time or concern.
Cheers,
