I got a chance to use Windows 8 for a bit this past weekend, and I have to
agree, and stay with my original opinion that I don't like it.
Basically, I was at my inlaws using a computer. I hit my website, and
connected to my BBS via htmlterm. It seemed every time I posted a damn message,
some regular button kept doing some kind of application switcher, or desktop
switcher. It would flip to another desktop with something else going on. I
would have to take the arrow key up to the top left and select the screen I was
using. It happened over and over and I couldn't figure out what button was
doing it. It was pretty irritating.
Windows 7 will be used here until they do something about 8 and it's
tablet-style crap. They need to realize there's still people out there that
like to use their keyboards more than the mouse. :(
Regards,
Nick
