Greetings from Windows 8.1

I installed a new 840 EVO into my rig, and put Windows 8.1 on it. It's not nearly as bad as everyone says, especially after downloading Classic Shell to get Windows Aero + the Start Menu back.

Anyone else rocking Windows 8/8.1?

Yep. Hated it when I first used it, but after a couple days I didn't mind it at all. Windows 7 was still better though.

Holy crap, Ody, are we psychically linked? I got an 840 EVO about a week back and also installed Windows 8.1 and the thing to get the start menu back. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

There are toys that you operate with your genitalia?

I think they're called books.

I've literally never had one problem with Windows 8 >_> honestly i think there's just a weird stigma with it, where people hate it just because other people hate it. but in reality nobody has any real reason to hate it

WHY YOU

What capacity did you get? I got the 250 gb one, and nabbed for $125 off of TigerDirect!

@Sub: I like Windows 7 better too, but only because I'm so dang used to it. Windows 8 has better "under the hood" performance though.

I only went with the 120GB one. Figured I'd just install my OS and some programs on it. It's-a pretty nice. mario;

The problem with Windows 8 was that its implementation of the new start menu/app system to appeal to the tablet market was awkward for PC users. The aesthetics of the UI looks good and Windows 8.1 + Classic Shell alleviates some the issues. Its not a Windows Vista in any case.

Windows Phone 8 UI, on the other hand, is great if you overlook its lack of third party apps.

I feel more comfortable with Windows 7. I use Windows 8, but I always go straight to the Desktop. All the Apps on the start up menu are not very useful to me. I am a computer basics kind of girl though.
