Hi,

So i tried Windows 8 since its launched, now its annoyed me so much that i am just installing Windows 7 again. For the people that tried it and went back to Windows 7 can you please let me know your reasons?

Thanks

Richard

I agree. My couch computer also got down graded. My main system with start8 is fine, but metro is completely useless / worthless. Dispite what people say Metro is more clicks. Just wanted to get that in before this thread gets locked in 3..............2..........................1. :)

Does it really matter? You had your reasons. More power to ya.

Btw, there must be a thousand Windows 8 threads on Neowin. You should have no trouble finding opinions, pro & con, by doing a search.

I have to agree, better than turning into into another boring long thread of views which are just peoples choices. And to me as long as we have a choice, that's all that matters. :)

@OP

Tried Windows 8, downgrades to windows 7.

The constant flipping between the Desktop and Metro apps was bothering me.

Taking 5-6 steps where on Windows 7 it took 2-3 steps on a lot of things.

The metro apps are not as full featured or useful as there desktop versions.

Only one metro app full screen open at a time.

I don't hate Windows 8, I just dislike it.

      On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously

      I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.

      The term "RTM" is long gone starting with Windows 10. Every current release is a GA build. This is the result of MS making Windows as a Service (WaaS).

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
