They spent 20 years teaching people to use the Start Button and then abandoned it without giving further direction, and wouldnt allow any hacks to put it back cuz they felt like it. And that decision has to cost them billions in lost revenue. lol fucking dumb.

Agree... very dumb the Microsoft did this.... but I am a multi-tasking beast.... And Windows 8 is smoother than any other version of Windows ever before.

Just install the free classic shell and everything is great:

Windows 7 is still better in my opinion, but if you have a new machine with windows8 - classic shell will save you, and do it well.

Just got a respond from acer support regarding sending me windows 7 installation media -

PHP Code:


		
			
There is a fee of £51.06 for a set of recovery discs for your machine. You can make a payment by debit or credit card. We will create a case in our records for your request by taking your credentials. Once we find the payment is done, we will send you a form requesting the details for the Microsoft windows keys located underneath your laptop.

This is fucking crazy.I noticed you can buy windows 8 upgrade for less money,so i might go with that route instead considering windows 8 have faster loading time.

This way M$ can bring in profit from selling stuff online... If M$ locks this down it will be freaking huge for them.

I think it's poorly done and I hate the new OS.

Do you mean they want you to have an @Microsoft (or @msn) email account? Or do they just want you to register and use the same account for products and services?

If it's the later its not a bad thing really. On Mac OS/X you register your computer with Apple by providing your email address and other info. After that though, ordering products and support is super easy.

I haven't tried Windows 8 yet. Is it better or worse than Windows 7? I'm guessing worse?
