Except it takes 5 steps to do things you could have done in 1 step on windows 7. It also adds virtually no performance boosts and is basically a loving reskin of windows 7.
How can you be so sure?
I'm almost entirely certain that there are performance boosts. And don't give me that "games run worse" stuff. Not everyone plays BF3 on max graphics.
I wanna see some actual benchmarks on a variety of tasks, with stuff like HDD usage, memory usage, and CPU load and general speediness of things on exactly the same tasks and machines, each running win7 and win8.
Also, there seems to be some obsession with windows 8's interface looking like that of a tablet, and that automatically rendering it as unsuitable on desktop.
Personally, I don't understand that. Just because there are big tiles doesn't mean that Microsoft totally expects you to swipe your entire hand over your 16:9. The big tiles are supposed to be easy to find and select, and at the same time they don't have to change around with the interface to have it work under tablet.
Maybe they thought the other way round, but what's the difference? It's a very clean look and everything is arranged.
I might be wrong. maybe windows 8 really is as stuffty as everyone calls it, I'm not a Microsoft fanboy.
But it bothers me how passionately everyone hates windows 8. There must be a good reason why it was released in the first place.
