What a horrible mess!

One of the staff has had to “upgrade” his laptop to Windows 8 because of driver problems. He asked me if I felt like doing the same. No way! That start window is total rubbish. Full of baby-size panels of apps and crapps that no one in his right mind would every use. No access to help, control panel, other programs; in fact everything you’d normally find by clicking the START button – which, in Windows 8, takes you to this appalling mess. It’s so bad that there’s no obvious way to switch the machine off. (Other than using the power button, that is.)
      You’re just dumped at this horrible interface with no explanation and no instructions for doing basic tasks. A PC which used to be easy to use with Windows 7 is suddenly totally useless. It’s like being dropped in the middle of Shanghai with no road map and no Chinese dictionary.
      So there’s no way I’m ever going to move on past Windows 7 unless Microsoft makes its Windows interface work again. What a load of rubbish version 8 is!
