So I just bought a new PC and I must admit I did not inform myself about Windows 8 before deciding to go with it as my new OS. I have never been as angry as I have with this OS till I installed third party software allowing me to access a start menu and certain options on my PC once more.
First of all the new metro menu is completely atrocious. It's not made for desktop PC's at all but for touch screen one's. Also it hides away a lot of options and possibility to access and controll the PC from the user in a "Nah, you don't need to know or care about that!" way similar to what apple does. At first I thought the PC came with malware already installed seeing how what was greeting me a screen filled with what looked like advertisements and junk apps I wouldn't ever need.
The best thing however was them barring the use of things such as Skype behind a microsoft account constantly bawing at me to make a microsoft account in order to access anything. Purging all that nasty stuff from my pc and basically getting rid of every single last app was pretty annoying.
How can anyone like this at all? This isn't the future. It's basically Microsoft railroading it's users, thinking every single last one to have an IQ below 70~ and in need of an colorful intro start screen to keep them occupied and away from all those nasty pc settings and the likes. And yes I am ranting. #Such Angry # Much Ranting # WoW.
