Fuck you, documentation. It's pee en gee >:(
[QUOTE=wingless;40438001]I'm a bit late here but I appreciate the included Gamecube in that picture.[/QUOTE]
If you look more carefully, you can spot a GOTY Edition Half-Life box right below it. Well, technically, the Game Boy Player is right beneath the 'cube, but you get the picture.
The more I look at that picture, though, the more I realize I need an actual camera.
Anyone have a download link to that terabrt thing?

The Whitehouse says hard G and I'm sticking to that.
"The creators of the format pronounced GIF with a soft "G" /ˈdʒɪf/ as in "gin". An alternative pronunciation uses a hard "G" /ˈɡɪf/ as in "graphics", reflecting the expanded acronym. Both pronunciations are given as correct by the Oxford English Dictionary[5] and the American Heritage Dictionary.[6]"
According to the wikipedias

I just don't like how plainly obvious it is that metro was designed for use with a touchscreen. It honestly feels like a bad console port where the menus are really obviously designed for controllers.

It's a no-go for desktop users, it's really just a blown-up mobile OS.
Huge buttons, forced fullscreen anything, horizontal scrolling

I like to think of it as winmo7 duct taped to the front of win7, good if you use a touchscreen, not so good if you don't.
Something 90% of people bitching about Metro seem to forget that 99.999% of your time with Windows 8 will still be on the desktop.
You'll play with Metro, charms (FYI, these still suck), the new store, for 5 minutes, then you'll just go use the desktop like you always have.
Press start key on your keyboard -> type in the first three or so letters of your program -> enter
boom

I've told the change resistance this a thousand times, even demonstrated in person to a couple of them, they refused to believe what was looking them right in the face.
Just abandon them, they're worthless.

Then what's the point of using 8? I've yet to really see any differences besides they added metro + the charms bar (lol that thing has no use whatsoever) + they removed aero (Basically it's all around less aesthetically pleasing than win7).
It seems like the only rebuttal I ever hear about metro is "Yeah it sucks but you never see it so it's ok". That's kind of hard to do when there's two hotkeys to the fucking thing on every single keyboard, and I (and I assume others) primarily use win key -> type program name to open most things/find files. Doing so in windows 7 will open the start menu in the lower left and take up maybe 15% of the screen, not really hindering my workflow on whatever I was doing before. Meanwhile, in windows 8 doing that will open a fullscreen attention stealing window that I have to give all my attention to because I literally can't see anything else on the screen. Not to mention if I'm looking for a file or a control panel icon I have to hit down and enter a few times (or god forbid use the mouse) to switch categories because even if there's zero results for programs it won't automatically switch to control panel or files (or I don't know just show them all at the same time like what worked perfectly in windows 7??).

Performance increase, guarunteed future updates, better backwards compatability, lower resource usage, cheaper (Even though most of you use 'Yarrrrr it).
Ignoring Metro, it's all around a better system.
I see a lot of similarities between win8 and those hybrid phone/tablet things. Instead of having all of the good things from a tablet + all of the good things from a smartphone you get a shitty version of both (I can't actually speak for win8 on a touch based device myself but one of my friends tried it out and he said it wasn't very good).

Honestly if they just had a switch somewhere in the control panel to set it to "tablet mode" that turned metro on and left the start menu in by default nobody would be complaining

How about we agree to disagree (because we both know that the other side is wrong and that neither are going to have their opinions swayed), stop arguing, and be a happy family as per usual
Quite frankly, Windows search sucked major balls for files anyway, it's better to just organize them into proper folders.
I'd recommend Google Desktop if you [b]really[/b] needed file search but I think Google discontinued that a while ago.
[editline]27th April 2013[/editline]
Windows Search is good for Ctrl+F'ing your way to a file in a folder with a ton of files in it
and that's about it.
[editline]27th April 2013[/editline]
and on that note i'm heading for bed
night people
Personally I can't go back to the windows 7 task manager. The new file copy status window is pretty cool too
Those are kinda minor but they make win8 worth it for me
Finally figured out what the hell my performance issue in Win 8 was.
LogMeIn had hidden a process in the System process and was doing... something. I killed all the Hamachi services and bam, my PC is usable again.
Fucking weird.
Anyone saying Windows 8 is fine:
I tried using a Windows 8 notebook yesterday to ping and speedtest directly behind my modem. Couldn't get the damn thing to change IP or even change to LAN.

Networking part hasn't changed on Windows 8.
Write "Network Connections" in search field and go to settings. Then open that and you can manage it all..
JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS DID geez.

Are you serious? It's the same as Windows 7 with the Network icon in the taskbar.
Your own incompetence isn't a reason to hate Windows 8.
