They gave me an in-store credit and I picked up this new POS that has windows 8.

Juggernaut 11,054 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 is 8 a tablet OS only? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SwissyJim 117 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Yup... 8 sucks ass. Tried the Beta awhile ago and will be sticking to 7 for as long as possible. And no Jugs... 8 is not just a Tablet S. Altho it makes any computer LOOK like a tablet. Might be fine if you have a touch screen, but with a mouse I found it very difficult to use. But then, I don't have a smartphone, don't have a tablet... so I'm not used to that style of interface. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexc.s. 25 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 The U.I. in 8 is junk on anything that A: has no touch screen, and B: is not a small mobile device. Stick with 7 for desktops and most laptops. Oh and apple is stupid, really, the logo on every "mac" is a Macintosh apple right? Nope, the apple logo is a granny smith apple...

SGM 217 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I have the microsoft surface tablet and plan on upgrading to windows 8. I guess I am one of the few here that actually like it, if you don't like windows 8 you could probably downgrade to 7. Microsoft will continue to support 7 for a few years just like xp so you will have nothing to worry about. As for the info it requested you do not have to fill that info out at all and honestly anything to keep me away from Apple products I will support. Itunes is nothing more than a bloated mapping piece of software that has a store built in to it. just my 2 cents Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolverine 10,360 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks for the heads up on 8. I'll steer clear of any updates on the house PC's. The twins are still using their first generation Ipads with no issues. Everybody wants your personal info. Screw that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicklebon 27 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 after I-tunes recently jacked another couple hundred dollars worth of music from my MP-3 library. Pauly, I've seen this happen with several apps not just iTunes. I highly recommend only allowing players/library apps only read only access to a share that holds your MP3s. Too many apps want to store metadata within the MP3s and all it takes is something to go wrong during the write to hose up the file. I had a client loose well over 100GB of mp3 and of course he had no backup. Sure it makes some things a touch more difficult but in the end your better off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

[/pissed off drunken tirade] Pauly, Do yourself a Really Big Fucking Favor, go to http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/ , download, install, follow some basic instructions, tweak it somewhat and don't look back. Windows 8 does boot up fast, but the layout is a Gay~ Emo~ wetdream. I mean, WTF is with the Charm Bar? Who would dream that shit up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If that ever happens, I'll just have to create a bunch of "users" (using Saiga-12 forum moderators names, of course ) before searching for any of those questionable videos. "No (insert Saiga-12 moderator name here) Misses so and so. Your husband would NEVER dare looking for questionable or downright filthy content such as that.

[/pissed off drunken tirade] As a point of clarification, Gates hasn't been around for years. Blame Steve-o Ballmer and Stephen Sinovsky (who has since left the building as well). - D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
