I have 64-bit Windows 8.1 Preview and like it much better than Win 8 but I have four problems with it:
- I play World of Warcraft, a game that requires the use of the mouse to do many things but Win 8.1 interprets those mouse movements as requests to open the desktop and move menus in from the sides. If I am in combat, I will get killed by the time I can get out of the sides and re-open the game.
- My preferred browser is IE but it displays some sites like Google and Rabbit-TV as mere postage stamp sized portions of a full page. I can use Firefox but many sites, including that of my employer, refuse to run on it.
- As a related issue, my course materials complain that I do not have any version of Windows Media Player installed and refuses to run the video portion of my lessons.
- I clicked on a permission to update some previously installed software. It was delivered via C-NET which also installed Reg Clean Pro nagware which is falsely complaining that I have viruses, Trojans and other non-existant problems with my computer. With Win 7, I would have been able to open the Control Panel and remove this pest but I can not find a way to do this with 8.1.
