Day 164

Right. I have spend basically the whole day trying to get Windows 8 working smoothly, and now I'm ready to give up. There has been and still are issues, which are not acceptable. (like you get error codes -which are not regionized by Windows support pages-, when trying to download applications or SW updates, but you need to find hacking information via various forums to get it work). Most of the drivers must be reinstalled and manually of course. Facebook does not work via dedicated Windows application and many more...

But the most annoying is the slowness of the operating system; responses to commands are far too slow, especially Internet explorer: it could take 45 sec to open a page.

This is crap, don't install - I know it's not meant to be like this, but I was expecting a bit better installation procedure. 10 years back Windows issues were acceptable because there wasn't none to compare (apart from Linux, which wasn't that widely used). But today both Android and Apple has shown what is the smooth SW and application installation process, and this falls far from that. Disappointing.

I must keep using win8 for couple of days as I'm not ready to downgrade back to 7 right now; more likely there are more problems waiting for me...
