Re: win 8.1 sucks

people pay to downgrade from 8 to 7 so I'm not exactly sure why you're surprised

Re: win 8.1 sucks

why would you pay to downgrade to a shittier os

that's like hiring a bully with your lunch money to beat you up.

either get a computer with windows 7 already on it, brave the learning curve of installing a new os for a computer, or torrent windows 7 idk. PAYING for windows 8 to look like windows 7 is retarded. Pretty sure you could just download programs to make the change for you free, then again I haven't delved into it.

I would not, power users would not.
Your average, every day user would absolutely revert to an older operating system, especially if it's still comfortable to use for them. I mean, shit dude, XP was industry standard for at least 10 years, and Windows 7, although fundamentally revamped in practically every way, had a solid air of familiarity to it. The learning curve when going from XP to 7 was almost non-existent.

Look at the usage shares for last month.
Windows 7 - 53.05%
Windows XP - 17.18%
Windows 8/8.1 - 16.80%

Your average user is willing to use an operating system that hit EoL 7 months ago over an operating system that was released 2 years ago. Why do you think this is?

I'll say it again. You don't change a tried-and-true formula after 20 years.

Re: win 8.1 sucks

amen

still wouldn't pay money to change the way it looks though when I could probably find something on the internet to do it if it's that much of a bother to cover it up for average, everyday users.
