Help with Win 8 feedback buy or not to buy?
Saras:
And the guy that started the thread and asked the question is.
Tiffanys:
It doesn't change anything regardless. But just so you can get your panties out of a bunch, I wasn't even talking to you. I was talking to MyonMyon.
Watch the videos I linked. I won't bother arguing with someone that has an avatar of a pickle with an afro.

Take a look at yourself... you're sitting there on the bleeding edge trying a new OS and toting it to everyone with extreme rage in light of others who disagree with its amazingness. If you don't think that's W8 fanboying you need to just zoom out and get some perspective, sheesh.

Where did I say it's amazing? Nowhere. This is just a personal attack against me and a really poor one at that. When you have to resort to these kinds of things, the argument is already lost. I have only pointed out that there haven't been many reasonable arguments against windows 8, NOT that windows 8 is the best and everything in it is wonderful.

A game being buggy won't potentially fuck your entire system or make your life inherently extremely difficult and add hours of searching for fixes. Well, sure, maybe if you just really want to play the game... But let's assume you use it for a work PC - that's just fucking stupid. Now if you want to experiment with it on a PC you don't do important things on, then well more power to you, whatever. But nobody that's worth a damn in computers upgrades to a new OS until at least a year or more after release. Bleeding edge is bad. Tested and reliable is good. Don't put yourself through unnecessary trouble when you could just wait for a more stable release.

This is a proper argument against windows 8. I acknowledge it, of course, and have told my opinion in my previous post. Swearing doesn't help your cause, though.

--- End quote ---
And where did I act like this? Nowhere. Nobody is forced to do anything so I have to ask you not to put words in my mouth.

They didn't miss out on anything. In fact, they were probably a hell of a lot happier in the long run. Though to be honest... Vista turned into a pretty stable pretty good OS in the end after all of the updates. It sure as hell wasn't in the beginning.

You compare win8 to vista which is a fair comparison to a certain point. Though when vista was released, the issues were clear and everyone could for example tell that 64 bit vista had compatibility issues with many programs which then would not work. I haven't yet heard of such serious issues with windows 8, but you perhaps have, given your attitude. Could you tell a few examples?

Posting 4 troll videos from youtube certainly helps your argumentation. These are "troll videos" because the makers have made the whole video to hate on windows 8. Anyone who has used windows 8 can see how they are making things a lot harder looking than they are in the reality, trying to make the OS itself look bad. I can post 4 videos hating on ANYTHING. Hate videos are not a proof.
So what do we have in the end? 1 proper argument against windows 8 which I admit to be true, however only to a limited point amongst normal home PC users. The rest of your post is badmouthing, personal attacks, putting words in my mouth and posting noninformative videos. I'm pretty sad that your argumentation skill is on this low a level, but I guess it can't be helped. As I have already said everything I have to say on the matter, I will end my post with a quote:

He got his answer most like. It is pretty easy to tell that no matter what he picks it will not really make any difference. Windows 8 will get the same hate vista got, but this time it should not last due to win8 not having big compatibility issues like vista had in the beginning. I'm not going to use 8 due to using 7 and when you get down to it, it is the same damn thing just a little bit better optimized and a new optional UI to use or skip. If I was reinstalling and had a free cd key I would use it and I hate metro(its not called this no more but I forget what it got renamed to).
The only windows OS I used that was painfully bad was Windows me, but I don't remember why it gave me so much trouble. I did not use 3.1, even tho I have the disks. Ive used most: 95,98,98se,me,xp,vista,and 7 of course.

I think that Microsoft has named it, "Modern", which is kind of a pathetic joke, really.
