Fellow Windows 8 sufferers do you only use the desktop mode in Windows 8, or do you use the apps too?
Desktop only. I wish that it would just load the damn desktop screen on boot.

you should be able to. It was one of the first thing I changed on my settingsDesktop only. I wish that it would just load the damn desktop screen on boot.
It does for Windows ver 8.1.
Desktop mode since day 1.
The tiles/apps don't make sense to me if it's not touch screen.
I can't wait to get my MACBOOK.
That tile screen is the DUMBEST thing Microsoft has ever created and that's saying A LOT. I have a MAC but I bought a laptop for my Mom and I refused to get her the Windows 8 OS for that very reason. Windows 7 ALL the way.
I think Microsoft overestimated and assumed that by now EVERY laptop released would have a touchscreen and were trying to get ahead of the game by making Windows 8 the way it is, and it backfired.
But I can see why they thought touchscreen lappies would be more popular than they are now, it just didn't work out that way, but like I said before, it could, because the price of them has really come down ALOT, it's not really beyond most people's budgets, but for whatever reasons, people will spend over a grand on a MACBook...and the bastard doesn't even have touchscreen capability, then in class they see you touching your laptop screen to do something and they're like "Oh wow!" and you spent $500 LESS than they did.
People need to stop falling for Apple's game. You're getting LESS computer for the money with them. Way less. Do you know what kind of standard PC laptop you could get for the same amount you pay for a basic MacBook, how many different bells and whistles you could have? Apple knows they're scamming people because there's no way in hell that you should be able to buy a computer that can do 50x more sh!t than a MacBook, for,in most cases, less than half the cost of a MacBook, but yet people are still dropping coin on Apple computers in droves. :bulgy-eyes:
I bought a MacBook just to see what all the hype was about and I personally hate their Operating Systems 10x more than I do Windows 8. They make the simplest things complicated just to be "different."
You can't beat a Mac when it comes to wireless network issues. It's been years since i've been on windows 7, but i always had a hassle joining differing wireless networks.
