    It may be a fast booting os, but it sucks having to restart your netbook 2-3 times a day because your compootis freezes (No, it's not my apps, my whole netbook won't respond). I have to force shut it down (which we are told not to, but YOLO).
    Also updates... I've fallen asleep waiting for my netbook to update :L
    And yes, I'm using 8.1.

    The windows start button just takes you too the start screen, now there are three ways to do that -_- It's a pain to navigate through files, I was expecting and hoping our start button would actually be a start button so I can look up files like in Windows 7.

    I never used Windows 8, but Windows 8.1 is rad.

    Windows way of upgrading and adding things is basically making new ways to get to the same thing. This is yet another useless feature.

    I don't see what's so wrong as Windows 8 as an OS. Microsoft released it(partially) to the Xbox 360, so why do people hate it on the PC if they love the Xbox? -_-

    Windows 8.. Is actually pretty good.

    Back then, a lot of people loved it.
    Then someone hated, another one hated it, then MORE people hated it.
    Now since popular people hate it, people kiss their a$$es and hate it for them.

    And I use Windows 8.1, which I find 1000x times better than Windows 7 C:

    WINDOWS 8 MAKES ME PULL ME HAIR OUT, its so slow and frustrating, right now I'm using my moms windows 7 laptop because I "accidently" broke my windows 8 laptop because of the stupid (Not Responding) ffs. I am excited for windows 10 omg but then I have to go re buy sims 4 but its fricken R600, I cant keep rebuying games that need only 1 product number per user. EA and Windows really need to step up their game and fix this crap because I cant even play my windows 7 games on windows 8. There.... done

    For the ones complaining about it being slow, that's really a CPU problem... has nothing to do with Win 8 itself lol.

    I have Windows 8.1. Works pretty good for me. Just a bit of freezes here and there for a few seconds and then it's fine. Happens with Windows 7 and Macs too. :P

    Source: Typed this on Windows 8.1

    The main problem with windows 8 is the lack of a start menu but look at this:[​IMG]
    Windows 10 = Problem solved.
    Using Windows 8.1 right now
    Windows 10 is available now (dev preview only)

    Am I the only one that has begged my dad 100 times for him to get me an upgrade for Windows 8??
    If your computer is slow, its your computers hardware, not the OS itself.
    The tile feature is pretty rad imo.
    I like better than Mac OS, to be honest.
