Another asinine question...sad....If Microsoft put a pile of dog [bits] in a box and called it Windows 9, would you buy it and tell everyone to adapt too? (serious question)
exactly.
Been using 8/8.1 for nearly 2 years and have seen it evolve into a superb operating system from the first incarnation in beta/test versions. I'm "lovin it". I'm impressed with the speedy boot and shutdown. About the only hiccups that I get is an occasionally quirky back button in IE 11. Got it on both my desktop and notebook. I have liquidated my remaining licenses for Win 7 to those that prefer 7; I'm not wanting to look back. 7 was wonderful for me, but 8 is just a tad bit better.
Why don't you simply pin your most used applications to either the desktop or the task bar? This is how it has been since Vista and still works fine under Windows 8.x.
If you want your programs in groups of icons, make a folder on your desktop and move shortcuts into it. Open the folder, launch your programs like you did in 1994 with Windows 3.1 and be happy (I do the same thing with my "secondary" apps). You don't need to be constrained to one method of finding and using your programs.
I don't use any start menu replacement programs and I honestly go DAYS without seeing the "Metro" parts of Windows 8. Win +x brings up anything system related I might need. I still have Steam one click away in the task bar like always. I have Chrome, Office, Exlorer and my other most used apps pinned to the task bar. Everything is pretty much as it was with Windows 7. I don't see the big deal here.
The windows 3.1 program manager and file manager work fine on Windows 95 and I would bet it would even work on 32-bit Windows 7. If you installed 95 as an upgrade, the binary would still be there in the \Windows directory.
Since the start menu was such an obvious improvement, I don't know anyone who continued to use the program manager more than a week or so after installing 95.
Such is obviously not the case for Windows 8.
yea i think he was kidding about the people who don´t want to adapt to new stuff by using a 20 years outdated example
i think he´s pro win 8.1
or at least con flaming against it
I would disagree, I dont use touch at all and I love Win 8.1 without start menu replacement.
If anything I get annoyed by working on someones win 7 comp as it lacks things in Win 8 that makes fixing computers faster.

Care to expand? I'm just barely getting on Win8.
Win + X or right click start menu, access to control panel and device manager and disk management and CMD/powershell (admin).
I have this as a submenu from my Win7's right click for explorer windows (including the desktop) from a small .REG script.

I copy and pasted that post from a user that posted it on Usenet in 1996 and it echoed the sentiment of a lot of Windows users at the time.
The argument is eerily similar against Win8/8.1 but now users are rallying against the LACK of the Start Button instead of the introduction of it...ha.
Edit:But cookies to you for actually getting my very abstract example.
Anecdotal evidence has several definitions, which usually relate to how certain types of evidence cannot be used to logically conclude something. We see examples of this type of evidence all the time in commercials. A person tells us how their breath feels fresher after using a certain brand of toothpaste, or people testify to the clearing of their acne as a result of special products. Anecdotal evidence is often used in place of clinical or scientific evidence, and may completely ignore research or harder evidence that points to an opposite conclusion.
Just 2 weeks running with it.and so far.Crap and Crap.Back to 7 and life is better.i think it will be drop in no time.

There were plenty of people that loved "new coke" too.
that´s what i thought, or that it was made up to reflect an argument from ´95, some things keep repeating themselves, new windows is a classic "heat" discussion, every generation gpu/cpu wars all over again, tooI copy and pasted that post from a user that posted it on Usenet in 1996 and it echoed the sentiment of a lot of Windows users at the time.
I thought to myself, surely the guy who started the thread (Windows 8.1 your opinion) with such an inability to describe what exactly he dislikes about Windows 8.1 in any sort of meaningful let alone factual "opinion" couldn't have put together an intelligent analogy of Anecdotal evidence, and I was right.
So what! do i really give a FI thought to myself, surely the guy who started the thread (Windows 8.1 your opinion) with such an inability to describe what exactly he dislikes about Windows 8.1 in any sort of meaningful let alone factual "opinion" couldn't have put together an intelligent analogy of Anecdotal evidence, and I was right. Nice plagiarism.
So what! do i really give a F
Your right. i apologize. but the fact is.i respect all opinion.if a op like win 8 im very glad for him.yes i did try it and don't like it.that all.thats why i want opinion about itI would also suggest you try and be a bit more polite to other members around here or the MODs will come down on you like a ton of bricks.
