Right were to start:
1: difficult to access safe mode.
2: impossible to recover from the new "black screen of Death"
3: no media player its now an extra and at a cost!!!!
4: all games etc that used to be included you have to get from the New store.
5: no start menu from the desktop. Users will not get used to this, it is ludicrous on a desktop pc.The search all apps just gives you every exe on the machine in no logical order.
6: Start menu functionality can be restored only by buying third party apps.
7: no Aero, ok aero should have been updated but not to the same standard as windows 98. Progress it is a joke!
8: the only way to reinstall and maintain your applications is to use a system restore (which you cant after the black screen of death) or to reimage your disk.
Some of the above are not just gripes they are major show stoppers. I knew it was designed to work on a mere tablet so all that money I had invested in a powerful graphics card and ram were no longer going to be doing anything to run windows. Microsoft had better start releasing updates soon and they had better be free.
So in order to fix the black screen of death I have to reimage my hard disk using my windows 7 backup. Thank god I had one. So my laptop may get reconverted back to windows 8 (currently very unlikely), whereas all of the other pc's we use, and as we are 3d animaters we are talking not an inconsiderable number, will be staying firmly windows 7. I would not go near them with windows eight. So come on Linux or Apple the time is now to come out with the goods because the launch of windows 8 is going to make the horror of Vista seem like nothing.
Windows 8 is rubbish!!!!!! I want my money back!
