Hi,
So I waited to pass judgement on Win 8 even though everyone was bitching & complaining about it.
With a few minute configurations including classic shell, I was okay with it until my brand new Asus laptop's keyboard started seizing up.
Anyway, I was waiting for 8.1 to come out just so I could maybe enjoy it even more, but now after reading another thread on here & learning that there's a lot of issues with drivers etc., I do NOT want to switch.
But I started the DL process in that stupid tiles area that I can NEVER figure out.
Every time I go back to the normal area (desktop), I have no way of finding the DL & its progress.
Can someone who understands 8 PLEASE explain to me where it's hidden & why in the hell does MS hide DLs in the first place.
Geeze.
Can't they read people's complaints? I know they think they are starting something great & new, but if it's THIS hard to figure out an OS, clearly they did NOT do a good job of:
a) slowly rolling out this tile thing
b) creating simple instructions so people understand what they are trying to accomplish
c) the user interface isn't intuitive at all
Anyway, enough of my ranting. I don't know if I should just stop the DL or what. I guess I should if I'm too nervous to install it now.
Thanks
Michelle
