I want to downgrade back to WIndows 7. I cannot stand 8.

Cue what I called. :/

Help me out, S.T.A.G.E., what's wrong with it?


Can't use my online kindle properly, I am trying to teach my aging family members who got new computers and they aren't used to 8, You actually have to dig deeper to get the things you want. Somehow it feels slower than 7 but not as bad as Vista.

Actually you can literally just type what you want when you're in the main tiles menu and it will bring it up (go try it, it's very nice)

 

OT: Windows 8 was hard to get used to at first but now that I have the hang of it I wouldn't trade it back for any other OS. It's faster, easier (after the initial "what the heck am I doing stage" lol), and has plenty of nice conveniences that IMO make it far better than Windows 7. With Windows 8.1 it's only going to get better.

Probably one of the big problems MS had is that they did not provide a really good traning video.  Its almost as if they expected users to work in windows in a particular way making the transistion to Window 8 easy.  

For myself, I had no problems.  I always pinned my most used stuff on the menu bar.  To find an App, lets say notpad.  I never used my mouse to click start, go to programs, Accessories, then notpad.  I always hit the windows key, typed in not then hit enter and I do this for pretty much any of the Applications I do not use that much.  

I will say that Windows 7 search brings up everything which I found better because it would search for outlook, word and other apps for keywords and bring them up as well.  Making for a more robust search tool.  You can still do the same thing in WIn 8 it just not from the windows search.
