Re: Windows 8 Is Entirely Unusable
It is going to take a lot more than a Start button to make me ever trust a Microbug operating system again. That omission was relatively easy to correct with third party software, but how do you cope with a system which puts idiotic menus on the screen every time you move the mouse?
When I say I found Hate entirely unusable, I mean it literally. The nearest comparison I could find was that of a vehicle driver, who, every time he moved the steering wheel, would have a silly picture come across the entire windscreen. If that happened to you, how long could you stay on the road?
It is a desperate shame that Linux is not supported well enough for us to use that alone. As an example, the PrimoPDF software for windows will print emails to PDF, and the links remain clickable. Cups-PDF will print emails to PDF in Linux, but the links are not clickable. Not good enough. I still have to boot into Windows to print off emails.
It will be a long time before used PCs running XP or 7 disappear from the market, and hopefully by then Linux will have the support it deserves. It is certainly by far the easiest operating system to use, as long as there are no hardware compatibility issues when you are setting it up.
