anyone have windows 8?

Boredom · 07-03-2013, 07:31 PM

and if so can you take a screen shot of your desktop maybe with the control panel or something open so i can see what it looks like?

just picked up a labtop and dude who sold it claims it's windows 8 but tbh shit looks cheap as fuuuuuck and nothing like i think it should.

appreciated nugguhs

looks the same windows 8 just stole macs scheme and over layed it.

Make sure you arent in the desktop view hover over the bottom left and you should be able to pull up the new mac schemed start page.

type control panel --> Boom.

I fucking hate the windows 8... Got it yesterday and feel its highly overrated... The OS store as well is so fucking lame and on FB it automates and posts like 7-8 times that one sentence or word I typed in lol

Spoken · 07-03-2013, 09:13 PM

You guys actually use the apps that they offer??

I have it

Supposedly, there is a shell extension that makes it essentially a more functional version of Windows 7

I actually kind of like it, got a Samsung CHRONOS Laptop that is pretty much dope except doesn't have the video card for gaming capability

I find the windows touchscreen is intuitive and helpful, except when I'd like to be able to use the mouse, its clunky and right clicks too often, and the backlight is like rogue lol

Netflix app is better than on my Windows 7 machine or Xbox

Nothing really sticks out as super shitty

Also better optimized than Windows 7 so there's that
