"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Doesn't change the fact that Windows 8 is not user-friendly and therefore useless to businesses who rely on a Start menu, which Windows 8 does not have. Finding the Control Panel, I was told, was an aggravating pain in the ass. The interface is hideous and counter-intuitive. Thus, I judge equally on looks and character and what I see is Microsoft dumping money into a pile of [parasitic bomb].

You can just type 'Control' on the Modern UI/in the search bar

It literally takes less than 10 seconds

It's still hideous.

It's ok.

For a tablet.

I don't want tablet in my PC.

This is how you find the Control Panel in Windows 8.

Now, show me where the Search bar is.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. That is exactly what I thought when I first saw it.

While in the tile menu thing just start typing.

Alright, let's agree to disagree:
Is it user-friendly? Depends on the user.
New computer users and people familiar with tablets? Certainly.
Oldbies and people familiar with Windows 7 and below? [tornado fang] no.

Archer · **Reply #10885 on:** October 26, 2012, 06:48:56 AM

No? I only installed it today and I'm already used to it.

It doesn't take that long to adjust.

Sounds like someone is just afraid of change.

It's a salamander. A blind, legless, lungless salamander.

Archer · **Reply #10887 on:** October 26, 2012, 07:12:36 AM

looks like a grey dick

Flame · **Reply #10888 on:** October 26, 2012, 07:15:37 AM

That's one misshapen lizard. Which does look like some kind of grey dick.

It's a salamander. A blind, legless, lungless salamander. It is also known as a Trouser Snake.

Flame · **Reply #10890 on:** October 26, 2012, 07:21:39 AM

Well it certainly looks like a trouser snake.

Quickman · **Reply #10891 on:** October 26, 2012, 07:24:12 AM

I dare someone to put it up as their Failbook cover image, wait for someone to complain to Staff, and then tell them that it's nature.

xnamkcor · **Reply #10892 on:** October 26, 2012, 09:26:53 AM

Isn't a [ray splasher] nature?

The tablet version is a whole 'nother kettle of fish.
There's the version for Intel-based processors, and a version for ARM processors. You need to take a deeper look when buying a Win8 tablet, since the ARM version can only use applications downloaded from the Windows Marketplace ($$$).
