I like windows 98, xp and windows 7. Operated windows 8 in my friends laptop. It was horrible.

XP and win 7 are my favourites too. Win 8 isn't too horrible on a laptop after you tame it, this is my metro screen after removing all the fluff.


Never use it. Windows key + X shortcut is my friend. And I added this shortcut "C:Windowsexplorer.exe Shell:AppsFolder" on the desktop to replace the missing functionality from the start button. Still it's missing a proper task bar, holding alt-tab while tab-tab-tabbing or mousing over to the right app with a track pad is annoying. Why do some things appear on the task bar and others don't. Hopefully 8.1 will fix the taskbar. Btw you don't want to run it on a laptop with less then 8gb ram, it has 3gb is use after startup. (compared to xp only occupying 200mb)

A cloud based OS sounds like an oxymoron. Isn't an OS supposed to manage your local hardware so you can more easily run software on it. What does the cloud have to do with that.

Check this out. This might be helopful. My friend says its a good software. This will bring back old start menu in windows 8. Here is the link.
