I HATE Windows 8. This is the worst OS ever invented.

I agree with you and Windows 10 isn't much better, I am very sure I will be changing to Linix now. Microsoft has f**ked their operating system so bad that nobody likes it anymore.

When are they going to get back in the real world?

Please expand on, ". . . too many things going on ..." by listing a few such things.

In my experience, Windows 8.1 is like all previous (last 14 years or more) versions of Windows with two very visible exceptions: start screen menu instead of start button menu & charms.  Start menu button has many options to resolve.  Charms too.  Beyond that, a few checkmarks/options and it looks and feels (to non-power users) essentially the same.

So I am curious as to your list of issues, ANOTHERGLENN?

this windows 8 sucks- too many things going on,  You **** geeks should have left it alone.

this system just sucks.  I can't even play dvds that I could on Vista.  Other things I couldn't do on vista was some software that I needed to udate.  Could not do those things so I upgraded to 8.1.  I can't even watch  dvd.  I got ahold of geeksquad and they tried to fix it.  No luck at all.  One Geek told me that 8,1 didn't come with a dvd player.  He suppoded to have fixed it by loading VLC media player.  Using that has been a big pain.  I can't even figure out how to get to it and use it.  These is after I got help from the Geeksquad.  8 sucks and I can't  belive this but windows is dead with me.  I'm going to Apple, but it's gona hurt the budjuct.  Not as much as windows has caused me but at least I may not have so many darn problems.  I just can't believe windows sucks so bad and cost way to much money.
