windows 8.1 still sucks

[maks]

oh and with classic shell not only do I get the best start menu ever I neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr have to see metro and all the explorer windows you can customize to be like XP which had all the fancy stuff but I only installed the start menu because I don't need explorer to have anything since second life's shortcut is right on the desktop, which my pc boots to right away it's not like it starts at metro on boot either

I don't want the same interface as Windows 7. I want nothing but a taskbar or dock with a search bar on it. I'm sure it can be done in 8, but it's not really worth it because in the end I'd still be running fucking windows.

I agree, but the metro interface is just a less organized start menu with gigantic fisher price buttons that you have to grab with your mouse and drag around. Search i the most efficient way to launch programs these days, the bar at the bottom of 7's start menu was glorious, sure they stole it from osx but who cares it works great. One click, then type the first 3 letters of a program or control panel setting, document etc and it pops up right there in front of you.

Also the 'fullscreen by default' philosophy for 8-specific applications is fucking retarded. Also a task bar is essential on something like a Windows machine which will run out of RAM and run like shit if you leave everything running all the time.

Windows 8's new interface should have been a taskbar with a search box embedded in it.

ya the interface fuckin sucks, just dont use it, thats my solution

everything else though is > windows 7

I don't see any really compelling reason to upgrade, I really only use Win 7 for gaming and considering that 8 is essentially the new Vista it would be a waste of time learning all the ins and outs when they're going to be rushing win 9 to market in a year or two

For what it's worth Server 2012 defaults to the desktop but if you click where the start menu is supposed to be it brings up the server manager instead of anything useful, and I miss the notification area.

whats peculiar is your taskbar is sharper and crisper than anything else on the screen
