I just got Windows 8 last week. I found the vast majority of functionality I needed without any help, in just a few minutes of playing around with it. My brother (who had Windows 8 for a few months) showed me just a couple more things, but none of them were necessary, only more convenient ways of doing the same things I'd already figured out how to do.
- lawnchair_larry 13y agoI don't understand the relevance of the sentence: "Just because there are new ways of doing things doesn't make it bad." Not one single person who dislikes the Windows 8 interface has ever cited that as the reason. And there's no way you figured out how to close a metro app without looking it up.
- lurkinggrue 13y agoWhen I started using the Beta I couldn't get windows snap to work. Spent an hour trying to get it to work and just couldn't get two metro apps on the screen at once. Was it my dual monitor setup? Was it a bug? No, I didn't have enough screen resolution and the os wouldn't mention this fact and it took a ton of googling to find out that was the case. Yeah, the OS was being obtuse.
