Thank you, Windows 8, for pre-deciding your pathways and shutting yourself down because you cannot follow them. Thank you for updating when nobody was home, when nobody could inform your update where to go, at a time you felt it was necessary to make my internet on the only gaming computer I have unusable because apparently I can't use the internet if you're missing files.
And here I thought I couldn't have any more reason to hate Windows 8.
IT DOESN'T EVEN ASK YOU TO RESTART, ITJUST FRICKIN DOES IT!!!!
A touch screen OS is great for those who use a touch screen phone or tablet, but I think that they have messed up their product which is used in many businesses and home environments for a multitude of reasons.
What they should have done is just make it an entirely different OS series but stuck with the window's 7 UI. I dont like the fact that windows 8 makes you jump through so many hoops just to reach a certain file or open up device manager programs and whatnot. It's generally annoying, unpleasant and soaks up alot of time that I could be using to do actual work instead of trying to open the program.
tldr: Windows 8 sucks balls for Desktop. Windows 10 technical preview as well.
Get ready for this.
I like Windows 8. On my non-touchscreen desktop computer. For the longest time, I didn't even use a start menu replacement. I got "comfortable" using Metro UI, and for a lot of common tasks, it was much faster. I prefer to search for my prgrams than navigate through a nest of menus that I could accidentally scroll over. Nothing was easier than [Windows Key] + [type] for something.
The added OS features for performance made me never go back.
