You guys are gonna have the MAC buzzards back in here if you don't quit whining about windows 8.1
My wife still loves it. I set it up to have the software she uses open in desktop mode and put some shortcut buttons in the taskbar.
The default desktop screen, right out of the box, is a nice even blue, with no icons or wallpaper themes on it.
I told her I could make the Metro background the same color and un-clutter the shortcut boxes in Metro, but she said don't bother.
Hers is a desktop computer with a regular monitor, not some silly little thing that you pinch, squeeze, swipe, and squint to see.
But it would connect to all that kind of stuff and act as one system if we wanted it too. That was the design purpose of W-8.
Before that everyone was complaining of multi system incompatibility. There will always be complainers and others who are users.
I'm sure we all have purchased vehicles and farm equipment that had features we didn't like. ( Look at the other forum posts):laughing:
We either learn to use them, avoid the part we don't like, or get rid of them. And yes, we complain about them too, including me; but the swallows just smile and keep grabbing bugs as we mow.
