Still trying to figure out what is wrong with Windows 8. Uses less resources then Windows 7, faster to start, faster to close, faster to find things, just faster, faster faster. If you dont want to use Metro apps boot to desktop. Pin your apps to the task bar (been doing that even prior to Windows 8). I find the oh switch between start screen and desktop is to jarring argument to be hysterical. Oh my eyes. Then they go from website to website with totally different designs and have no problem.

 

 

There is nonthing wrong with it at all. Windows 8 to me is the best OS Microsoft has ever made. Just like you said it does everything faster and is more stable. If it booted up to desktop and had a start menu like Windows 7 we would not be having these discussions.

Like I said total non issues. To have a much more stable fast OS and not have a start menu when most of the time you really dont need it or use it.

The only significant different in performance is boot and shutdown.  Otherwise the differences are negligible.  It's certainly not easier to find things.  Windows 7 is very stable, so that's a non-issue.

The new interface just sucks for PCs, which is why nobody is buying it.  I've got 7 on my laptop and 8 on my wife's laptop.  I can't stand working on her machine, even though it's a touchscreen.

As for Windows 9, we'll see. 

The search in Windows 8 is just plain great. I want to find an app I dont use much. I simply hit start and type a few letters and find it nearly immediatly rather then navigate through menus starting at start menu.  Windows 8 is also more stable. Other things like copying files are faster. Explorer is also easier to navigate for commands you dont use much with the ribbon. There are many other improvements over 7, but if the only thing you care about is the Start Menu then I can see your issue. To me the start menu is a relic of the past that I have never missed.
