Windows 8 Sucks

In the early 90’s I was writing scanner device drivers for Zsoft (PC Paintbrush). These guys had a tight relationship with Microsoft so I got my hands on every early version of Windows that came out, and I’ve been through every version since. The clear standouts over the years have been 2000 and XP, along with the best ever (my current OS), Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

A month ago I bought Windows 8. The PayPal purchase went very well, the download process sucked, I never could get it to install. So, I purchased a full backup CD which after shipping snafus and a call to Microsoft, finally arrived this week.

I created a new partition and installed it next to Windows 7 so I could boot into it and test it. I think the title of this post sums up what I feel about this version. I hate it! Ugly, non-intuitive and designed for dummies!

I’ll continue to play with it but I’m writing a Craigslist ad in a back partition of my brain.
