Arctic Vortex Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Either I'm doing it wrong, or something, because Windows 8 really annoys me because just moving to the far right of my screen pops up this black slide and a lot of stuff I don't want.

MCPO Mayh3m Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 It is WAY better on Tablets. I have a Microsoft surface and it runs flawlessly. I believe Microsoft announced a new version which works on PC's better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperIntendant Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think your problem stems from using Windows 8 in the first place 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 In my experience, use Windows 7, It is 20 times better then Windows 8 for PC's...Windows 8 is better for Tablets and such, NOT PC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-38 Boss Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Windows 8 kinda stinks. Microsoft is following it's old pattern of good OS, bad OS. Windows 7 good. 8 baaaad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinreaper Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 To be fair, Windows 8 is just as stable as Windows 7. Granted yes, the 8 UI is better suited to tablets, but Pro allows you to rollback to the older UI. Also you can find various tutorials for adding a "windows" style start button to the toolbar, to help you out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teker Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 That black bar is called "Charms" I think. Its literally integrated into Windows 8 unless there is some setting or registry change you can make to disable it. It doesn't bother me too much though.

ThurstonM Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 It's a lot better for Win 8 touchscreen laptops or tablets, you can just swipe from the right to the left on the screen and it brings it up. Windows 8 is really annoying with the mouse imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Orbis Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I don't know guys. It honestly does lag a lot if you don't have THE right specs. SSD works great if you boot Windows from it... Regardless... Wait a couple of weeks before updating to Windows 8.1, because a Microsoft employee we talked to claimed that it has too many errors. In the meanwhile, I'd recommend a program called Classic Shell, which I posted a topic about way back. Anyway, it allows for a start button, a list, or you can just have a start button that takes you to the actual start screen. Though, I brought this up because of your issue. This program allows for you to disable corners, that trigger the charm, multitasking, etc. The feature is there. But my friend, in this world, if you take advantage of every program, and of the internet, you'll find that these things make your life easier. For me, that "annoying" thing is actually helpful, and I LOVED seeing Windows evolve to this stage. I can't imagine Windows like it used to be anymore. That metro UI is beautiful, and simplistic. Just learn to love its beauty and elegance. If you don't, then by all means it is up to you. But, I advise that you take full advantage of Windows 8; it'll make life FAR MORE easier.

RC-01/207 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Alright I already like it here. Windows 8 was built and formated for touchscreen devices such as tablets, phones, and those poorly designed touchscreen pc's and thus windows 7 is a far more efficent OS for a non-touchscreen capable pc.

The Stig Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 So is Windows 8.1 any good? So Windows 7 VS Windows 8 VS Windows 8.1 which one is the winner? Should I go from vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit or to Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 So is Windows 8.1 any good? So Windows 7 VS Windows 8 VS Windows 8.1 which one is the winner? Should I go from vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit or to Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit? Upgrading to Windows 7 64-bit is a good way to go. Windows 8 sounds like a beautiful OS for a tablet, and I have no idea about 8.1. I've tried 8; it's nothing spectacular. It's a bunch of vibrant squares geared towards social networking, while Windows 7 still feels like an actual computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
