1. Most, if not all new PCs generally come with Windows 8 preinstalled. Should we buy a new PC (when we need one of course), which in the price includes a Windows 8 licence, the go out a buy a second windows licence this time for windows 7, paying twice for the an OS which shouldn't be broken in the first place?
Different =\= broken. Nobody is forcing you to buy Windows 7 with your Windows 8 PC.
2. Learn to use a TABLET OS on a DESKTOP computer, which is both difficult and bad, OR have to click a shortcut on boot up to get out of an interface that should be an extra feature, not a default setting. Better yet, install some third party applications to restore features that have been a staple of desktop computing for about twenty years...
Heres an idea, learn the fucking Win key commands, it takes like, 20 minutes and everything becomes much less harder.
The bottom line is, a tablet OS should behave differently from a desktop OS, Apple learned this already, you don't see people complaining that their Mac OS is stuck with only fullscreen applications, no menus etc. do you? Because Apple didn't force a mobile OS onto it's desktop users.
I see people being brain washed into using that shit OS on overpriced hardware.
Windows 8 seems perfectly fine for tablet use, where screen resolution is smaller and input methods are different. However it runs two entirely different interfaces at the same time, which is confusing and just plain daft. The old 'desktop' interface (with start menu) should be the default on a desktop computer, with no sight or sound of the new 'Metro' interface, as that is what people have been using for thirty years, there's a reason for that, IT WORKS.
Learn the Win keys, it makes it much easier to do anything on it.
I not give up on this topic and wont even look at windows again until Windows 9, or whatever silly name they come up with. It has been interesting though.
