Windows 10: Why I downgraded back to my lovely Windows 8.1

When i was just starting out in life i thought i might follow my fathers path at becoming a welder. He told me to be cautious of the guy that touts his experience, ie "son i got 20 years experience as a welder". Dad told me nope- "the guy has 1 year 20 times".......

 

Oh yeah?
Start all over again you say. Yeah, exactly like Windows 10 did. It's nothing like Windows 8.1. I mean, nothing, literally, nothing. It's so advanced and different from it that it's clearly a BIG step in the OS world. It adds so much features I would need 2 pages of posts to point them all. It does not remove features and useful stuff from the previous OS just because. It does not.

I'm probably a genius if you say I am. You're insulting me (but I don't really care at all, don't worry), if you think my post is a copy-paste of ideas I've been finding all over the web. I installed it on 29th of July, I used it, I fought it to make it better and customize it as I wanted, I saw it was a straight worse OS than Windows 8.1, and I rolled back.

You know what was really tough for me?
To discover new features in Windows 10. I had to visit like 9 or 10 different reviews of "W10 vs W8.1" to create a bunch of "new" improvements. That was tough.

 

Because Windows 8-10 are not intended to be improvements to Windows 7.

Windows 8-10 are about transitioning to a new operating system called WinRT. Anyone who expects these OS's to be a better Windows 7 are either misinformed, or living in a fantasy land. That's not what Windows is migrating to. Each new version will have fewer and fewer Win32 features. This isn't going to change. Any complaints about improving Win32 features are pointless.

 

Yes, Count, you are absolutely right. Further, I'm at a loss as to how someone can judge an operating system by trying it out for one hour. Here's what rambomhtri said:

So . . . as I said . . . when you make up your mind on something this quickly, I say you haven't a clue as to how that judgment was made. Further, I cannot understand how one can write a ten page article with 4,929 words from one hour's experience with Windows 10!

Makes me wonder just a little bit . . .

 

Looool, wait, what?
XDDDDD. Simply amazing.

So we could say that apparently something happened in that PC.

 

Sums up nothing, I'm free to express my opinion about your opinion, am I not ?
It's far from that I think that W10 is perfect and I'm between first to criticize something I don't like or find wrong but I am using W10. The very moment when/if I decide it's not for me, you or anybody will not hear from me again. Should I go to let's say BMW sites and tell them how bad it was for me ?
Rants like this are clearly designed to make or change peoples minds about something, in this case W10, weather you deny it or not.

 

You don't understand how can I see I miss a lot of features?

May be you're not considering that Windows 10 is just a STRAIGHT copy of Windows 8.1, with little tweaks that have worsen it, and just 3 or 4 new features that really don't change anything.

You're right to express your opinion, that's totally fine and right. Me too, right?

Or may be not?
Because you're basically saying that my post should not be here posted. A post talking about the disadvantages and lack of features of Windows 10 compared to Windows 8.1 should not be at all in a forum of Windows 10, right?

May be you are the one that don't let other people express themselves.

Rants like what? Is my first post, pointing out all the lack of features of Windows 10, a rant?
If you can't read anything that is not what you think, I told you, is not my, and our, problem. Just deal with it. And if you clearly consider it a rant, I told you not to enter post that are not saying what you think, cause then you're gonna consider them a rant.

I'm clearly saying all of this to inform people Windows 10 is worse than Windows 8.1 on 4th August 2015. You can change your mind or you can't. Just read what I say and see yourself that things you could do in Windows 8.1, you can't do it now in Windows 10.

 

Who's missing a point now ?

 

You are free to express your personal opinion; you are not free to shove it down my throat! And that's what you're doing; if we disagree with you, you attack. Not nice at all.

Edit: Oooohhhhhhhhh, and now you're putting words into my mouth! Thanks anyway, but I can say what I mean and don't need any help with that. *Shock

 

Hehehehehe! Stick a fork in me; I'm done. I think, but I could be mistaken. *Smile

 

Sorry, I didn't type a "not" and had several mistakes. Now I think you can understand it.

To shove it down your throat. What are you talking about?
Did I PM you?
Did I control your web browser and ordered you to read?

You even said you didn't read my first post because it was too large. Man, put your mind and yourself together, your words start to make no sense.

I do not attack anyone here, and if I do, prove it. Thank you.

 

I remember this, we although with our "Adam" were able to purchase a tape drive to store programs we had typed in, in CP

I had several tapes of Reloading Data records, I was an adult I bought the Adam for my kids as I didn't want them to behind the pack on techonolgy

 

Yes, I stored my programs on tape too. My first computer came with, I believe, 4 kb of RAM!

 

Ok, have better things to do now. I was installing and setting a Linux on an old laptop during this discussion and now I'm finished and very sorry it will not run W10. Would have finished long time ago with half of effort.

 

Got to:

then TL;DR took precedence.

A lot of humans can't handle change, no matter how minor or superficial. It may be worth working on your character before you die.

No one else cares if you like Win 10 or not.

You've gone back to Windows 8? Well bully for you. Someone give this boy a friggin' medal.
