windows 8.1 still sucks

[maks]

I'm betting that despite how minor the changes are you'd be completely lost in windows 8 and that's why it bugs you so much

also I'd love to see you navigate around explorer faster than I can type 'move filename %USERPROFILE%\documents"

keep ctrl+clicking, I'm going to go do the same thing in *nix and still finish before you've had a chance to hit ctrl-x

mv *.txt ~\Documents

how'd you learn the name of the downloaded file without typing other commands first

Well you see, mr gui dependent newb retard, an asterisk is a wildcard and represents everything matching the rest of the string

I aree, that's why it sickens me when picture clickers like you get on your high horse bragging about what big smart power users you are

making those pictures even bigger isn't going to fix that

No, it's not, and I never claimed it would. My argument is that you are exactly the sort of person you're complaining about and exactly as stupid as someone who has never used anything but Windows 8.

but if you can agree that making those pictures bigger is going to leave the user dumber, and you can agree that we want a population of people who know what they're doing, then you couldn't possibly approve of the windows 8 interface, lest you tolerate dissonance in your brain

also, there are many examples of tasks where a GUI has a DOS-user beat in terms of speed and efficiency;
for example, if i wanted to move 3 files that were next to each other in a folder, WITHOUT moving any others, i could click and drag to select, cut and paste them.
You wouldn't be able to do this in DOS.

[Plug Drugs]

Because ALL you've claimed so far is that you know how to use DOS and for some reason that means you're right

i can do anything you can do in DOS if i have to or want to, and i didn't need to spend a few decades learning how, is that what makes you upset?

No, it's that you think you're any better than every other casual user who barely knows where the on/off switch is. You're not. You don't know shit.

more steps involved in doing something = less efficiency

Windows 7
Boot Windows
Click the start menu
Click (or hover over) 'all programs'
Click the program you want

Windows 8
Boot windows
Click the program you want

Holy shit that looks... oddly familiar

under optimum optimum conditions for both of us, i can move both window panes for the download folder and the destination folder almost on top of each other, and i can click and ctrl+x ctrl+v pretty fast, its going to be faster than you typing out the command even if you already know the name of the file you're moving

I'll be done before you even get the two explorer windows open and pointed at the right locations.
