My wife likes it. She bought a computer with it. But I complain constantly when I have to use it, and fix it for her. It took way too much effort just to locate "control panel".
I like Windows 7 just fine and don't see how Win8 improves upon it in any way.
- russellsprouts 13y agoWin-X gives a menu with the control panel and a lot of other options. Once you get used to it and look up the keyboard shortcuts online, it really is better than 7. Unfortunately it isn't discoverable.
- numo16 13y ago> Unfortunately it isn't discoverable I think this may be one of the largest problems for people making the switch. After moving to Win8, a friend of mine enjoyed everything about the new OS except for one "missing" feature from Windows 7. He couldn't hit the windows key and type in the search box in the start menu to find programs he was looking for. After I told him you could still do exactly this, I realized that there is nothing on the start screen that really indicates that you are automatically search focused (people are used to a search box that they can focus on). Now that he knows about this he has no qualms, but I guess there are some undiscoverable features that some of us have taken for granted in win8 because we've actually read up on how to be a power user.
