Opinions on windows 8?

[That Guy]

Windows 8 sucks and I don't recommend getting it. It's hard to now though because Microsoft is forcing all computer manufactures to preload new computers with Windows 8 so new Windows 7 computers are hard to come by. I also don't recommend downgrading a Windows 8 computer to 7 because you will be left with a brick if you tried. The reason it will brick up is because new Windows 8 computers are set up to boot in UEFI mode. If you set it in Legacy BIOS mode, it will quit reading the hard drive and any other external devices and will take you to a boot error screen. This can be fixed, but it's a real pain to fix.

Now back to why Windows 8 sucks. I test drove it on my computer for about a month until I decided to just go back to Windows 7. I was able to go back because my computer is an older computer with BIOS and not UEFI so downgrading was easy. The Metro screen is about useless on a desktop or nothing with a touch screen and moving across the screen with a mouse or touchpad seems really cumbersome. Also the app store is a ghost town and the apps that are available are games and social media and have nothing productive. Also, the interface looks like it was designed by a 5 year old. The large live tiles make the screen chaotic because you have all sorts of colorful things moving around the screen and it can pose as a distraction. Also when you go to the desktop, you will have the most bland and boring Windows experience ever. Since Microsoft decided to drop the nice Aero effect that were use in Vista and 7, they left you with a bland, flat and boxy desktop interface that will bore you using a computer. Also the biggest I have had were drivers. Only about a third of my drivers worked on my computer. So unless you want to have a computer that is about as functional as a vegetable, don't get Windows 8
