Re: Windows 8.1 - The marmite o/s?
I am and its faster than XP and was only £50 compared to over £150 for windows 7 that's the only reason I got 8 and not 7. There are a few things that need going back to what they ware in previous versions.

Do you use any of the third party start menus?
I get why microsoft did it but the 'metro' interface only really works with touch

I have it set up so it goes straight to desktop the start menu is there sort of so I can restart and shutdown instead of hovering at the side of the screen and then clicking.

As far as I am aware they are doing another update to bring back the start menu fully not sure when it will be available though.

Done! Why waste money on Microsoft? They got enough. The more you pay them, the crappier their products get.

Yeah... but please let people at least search for their own :) (I don't want to cause problems for cy, the law over in great Britain is quite idiotic... (That's why I changed your URLs))
I do what I think is right. But I don't think that what I think is right can not be wrong.

Most torrent sites are blocked by ISP in the UK anyway, except the top searches are now the proxy versions of said sites.
I really don't like the app/metro interface its awful for non-touch monitors and even with one its not intuitive. I hope they continue to back down because business doesn't seem to be adopting 8 at all.

Yeah, here at work, most only use 7 as well... There's one person that uses 8, and he often complained about stuff being broken... Not only the UI, but even basic things like RAID drivers.
