I do, imaged my system and upgraded from Windows 7. Only programs that weren't compatible were Avast! (was already uninstalled, but the folder was still in Program Files) and Windows Defender for some reason; I would have expected that to have been upgraded?

avast works for me tho theey have an updated version for windows 8 i think but version 7 works for me

Because I have uninstalled it and gone back to Windows 7.

Well' you would have had to actually installed it first. Which from every posts you do, I can safely say you have not.

Defender wouldnt have been upgraded since its to used in windows 8. Windows 8 comes with its own new defender tha is the full security essentials suite. Only newer and for 8

i feel your pain Andrea i really do...There once was a nutty bar i liked which had peanut butter and chocolate sprinkles and what not..And one day the company decided adding coconut to it.Unacceptable..who would wanna eat coconut on a nutty bar..nobody :angry:

all kidding aside windows 8 isn't a trainwreck at all.I do understand some people won't ever be using Metro apps and stay at desktop mode most of the time and it will still work great.If you really hate all the changes from 7 to 8 then you shouldn't upgrade but a lot of people here i know will..

You are absolutely right it is a waste of time upgrading to Windows 8 if they are going to make it like this.With no start menu and the Metro theme.

But the problem is once a new version of Windows is released they stop selling the old version. Like they did with Windows XP and Windows Vista. So if they stop selling Windows 7 and we are forced to buy Windows 8. we will be stuck with Windows 8 when we do have to buy a new PC.

Linux users get to choose what version of Linux they use. So why can't Windows users? Andrea Borman.

Support. Since Windows is CLOSED SOURCE, Microsoft cannot support everything under the sun. They have better things to do with their time and money.

I started using it since last week and was really worried about lack of the start menu. But now im loving it so easy and simple to use and to be honest I hardly ever use the start menu. Maybe just 3 times a day to search for certain apps. People who are crying about no start menu need to first give it a try.

Can we just have AndreaBorman banned? Otherwise I will have to put users who keep quoting her on my ignore list as well.

That is her ultimate goal so she can write how bad neowin is for banning her among all the other sites who already did on her 20 different Hezbollah blogs.

You do know she has videos on youtube spewing the same BS, right?

And I'd appreciate a tip on how to add someone to my ignore list, I cant seem to find how to do it here. Thanks.

Well I only got banned from 2 forums. Seven Forums who ban people for nothing anyway. And a lot of members of Windows 7 forums have been banned from Seven Forums for no reason.See here-http://windows8forum...ven-forums.html

And I was banned from Expert Law forums for posting about my ban from Seven Forums.But the members of Expert Law forums did not like me anyway. And the members of Expert Law forums are not very nice. They get their kicks out of upsetting people.It's their thing. And from what I have read on the web they did this to other people not just me. So I am not the only one. Andrea Borman.

Curious as I am I couldn't help but have a look on YouTube. And you know what? In honour of Andrea I promptly booted into Windows 8 to use the Metro Theme in all of its glory. /s

And you found out that you could not use Windows 8,right? I told you so. Windows 8 is-THE OPERATING SYSTEM THAT NOBODY CAN USE. Andrea Borman.

On the contrary. I find Windows 8 to be perfectly usable. It is different from Windows 7, sure. But not entirely unusable.

But Windows 7 is much better and it has a start menu. And also that Metro theme just uses up a lot of resources on a laptop.My laptop is back to normal now that I have uninstalled that horrible Windows 8 CP and reinstalled Windows 7. Andrea Borman.

Metro isn't a theme. :rofl:

Funny, I've been using Windows 8 daily, since the CP was released, and I'm just as productive on it as I am on Windows 7, if not more. Andrea, you need to get off those damn netbooks for day to day computing. They're nice for occasional computing, but they suck compared to low end laptops.

I can live with the start screen just fine. As to the resource usage - Windows 8 is actually faster on my aging ThinkPad than Windows 7. Imagine that.

Your crusade against Windows 8 will get you nowhere. Oh and:

Metro is not a theme.

That's funny since windows 8 and metro uses less resources and is faster than Windos 7 and the start menu. But keep on trollin, trollin trollin...

    • What pushed me away from edge was the massive enshitification, constantly adding more and more bloat. Coupled with the constant changes in UI, and especially in the settings. Want to change the default search from Bing to whatever, you would have use search to know the three places to go and change. Then 6 months down the road, the Edge settings area gets a major update/change and doing the same task, changing the default search is now moved to three new locations. This never stops. They do this in Azure and its so insanely irritating. I am a huge OneNote user and they have effed it up so many times in the last 5 years....same for Outlook. People walk away from Microsoft products out of exhaustion.
    • Mac does nothing of the sort. You can change the default browser very easily it does not nag you and when you do this, it does not open something still in Safari....like Windows does with Edge.
    • I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.
    • On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
