“Great for Pads”
Written on: 20/05/2013 by MaxGardener (2 reviews written)
This windows is perfect for pads, too bad i installed on my pc. It's really confusing at first but that usually happens when you switch the OS. Works smoothly tho. (read more)
“Nothing Special”
Written on: 17/04/2013 by Hallsyk (12 reviews written)
Just as expected this operating system is nothing special, not so intuitive and not good looking neither, I would have never bought one but my sister has (I use mac) and she would not listen to me, but in my opinion it's not worth it. (read more)
“Not sure of the benefits”
Written on: 24/03/2013 by SallyB29 (2 reviews written)
I was given a new computer at work - and it came with Windows 8. It has been hard to adjust and several times, I have asked to go back to Windows 7, but my IT guys say it is nigh on impossible. Windows 8 has an odd interface. They should make it easy to not use it, but use Windows 7 instead. (read more)
“Don't Blame Microsoft for your cheap hardware!”
Written on: 02/02/2013 by reallyethical (7 reviews written)
Windows 8, the finger friendly operating system from Microsoft. Its Windows but not as you know it, and if you read some of the reviews here and elsewhere on the net you will see it has been slated for the new UI (User Interface for the none technical reader). I am an IT professional, I have worked with Microsoft Products since Windows 3.1 and we have a love hate relationship. To be honest I struggled for the first 10 mins playing with Windows 8, where to drag the program to close it,... (read more)

“GARBAGE DO NOT TOUCH IT”
Written on: 13/12/2012
Where to begin? I bought this as a 'bargain' upgrade download for £24. It installed really quickly and easily and for a few hours it looked interesting. I soon discovered though that the only real differences to look at are NO START BUTTON (what) and once the opening screen appears you click desktop and your back in your previous Windows (7 in my case). When it came to shutting down it took me 20 minutes and a search through a microsoft forum to find out how to do it. Comments there from... (read more)
“I would not recommend”
Written on: 01/12/2012 by riker (77 reviews written)
My sister asked me to go along with her to PC World to get a new laptop. Windows 8 was the only option available. We got it home and started to set it up. It took 3 attempts just to get Windows to recognise the details and load Windows for the first time. Once I saw it I knew it would be trouble. OK we managed to get it to recognise the wireless network at home. We successfully added Mozilla Thunderbird and got her emails through. However, Windows 8 does not come with media player. We...

I love windows.... I dont like WIndows 8 Desktop. Its great on the phone and works well. On the desktop yes it works well, easy to navigate, but it seems that Microsoft have just tried to copy the success of mac, but instead managed to fill my screen with loads of rubbish instead of leaving it at the bottom with taskbar shortcuts.

It is a horrific system - Microsoft seem to have let their self-destructive streak run riot this time - but apparently there's a third-party program that improves things by letting you bypass the "not-Metro" interface and use it properly. I haven't used it (I'm not quite foolish enough to get Windows 8) but I generally trust The Register's opinion on products given their history, so I'm sure this program should at least help somewhat. Hope this information helps someone...
