windows 8.1 still sucks

We want a world filled with intelligent people; we don't want a mass population of mongoloids who throw fits when things don't work for them

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.

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

honestly, if you need any proof that the Windows 8 interface is inferior to Windows 7, you're a jackass

more steps involved in doing something = less efficiency

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

Pot calling the kettle black

Windows 7
Boot Windows

Click (or hover over) 'all programs'

Windows 8
Boot windows
Click the program you want

a lot of the stuff on there by default is bloatware trying to sell you shit
you have to move icons there for new applications, which is almost the same as the old UI's desktop, except this new UI for windows 8 is trying to sell you shit

windows 8 isn't just one big advertisement, its an insult to the intelligence of computer users and an assault on the computer-using world's posterity

No, that's every windows ever. this one is no more or less "dumbed down", if anything it's more difficult to figure out because nothing is where it used to be

is that apparent to a casual user?

It wasn't apparent to you so no I guess not

Pot calling the kettle black

yes I just do this for a living and know Windows inside and out
