windows 8.1 still sucks

[maks]

good for you; does that make it a good thing to dumb down the user interface of windows to an even lower tier of simplification, such that trying to do any sort of file management on your computer is just tedious or even impossible?
I can cut a file from my downloads folder and paste it into one of my music, movies, videos, or pictures folders faster than you could type out the command for doing that on command prompt..
And I could DEFINITELY do it faster than someone on Windows 8 could, who would have to fumble around with applications that take up the entire screen first before getting to where they'd need to go

Please explain how making the pretty pictures slightly bigger in Windows 8 dumbs down the interface any more than Windows itself already did before you even started using it.

it makes things like file management more time consuming, and ultimately that discourages people from ever learning anything about their computer, as they're only going to learn what's convenient.

And that doesn't imply that Windows 8 is more convenient; it just means that what little convenience it does provide is only convenient to an extent. Anyone who spends a lot of time on their computer is going to end up wasting time due to efficiency reasons on windows 8 compared to windows 7, assuming they don't change the interface from default

You mean like how you never learned any DOS commands, right? Because it's more convenient to let trhe pretty pictures hold your hand and stroke your hair

It actually implies that explorer in windows 8 is identical to the one in windows 7 and you've never even seen the OS you're criticizing

I can do things in DOS if I have to, ask your average Windows 8 user if they can do anything in DOS

Windows 8 forces you to use the metro interface for various things

They can google it just as well as you can. Looking shit up != knowing how to use it

Like what?

but if you can agree that making those pictures bigger is going to leave the user dumber,

I don't agree with that, I think it's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard and that's why I've spent the last 10 posts ripping on you for saying it

Something tells me if you stick your average person who praises Windows 8 into DOS and tell them to append a line of text to a file like you asked me earlier, they're not going to even know where to begin.

Neither would you, you googled two solutions and they were both wrong
