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...

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
