Windows 8.1

[jomar]

Windows 8.1 touch is a trip. And Window Easy Transfer isn't so much...hours to compile and THEN it tells me it can't do XP to 8.1. And my profile is administrator, but it's telling me I need admin permission to move my pics and music over. Mozbackup was sweet, though.

I know, but I'm locked in because of software at this point. Love the touch aspect though, and older programs are cool with it.

 

[islandman]

You'll finger anything.

 

[jomar]

Hey, does this smell funny?

 

[trysail]

How does one do Excel with a touch screen?

A goddamn mouse is bad enough, I don't even want to think about not having a numeric keypad or slash commands.

It's a laptop with a keyboard, but it does have a stupid virtual keypad that pops up from time to time. You can probably select a cell with touch and drag and stuff...haven't played with that yet.

You could've downloaded the WET app for XP.

 

[jomar]

Now you tell me.

Though for some reason I couldn't find it. Might have been the wine.

With a real keyboard, you maybe would have been able to use the Shift key. And hit all the keys for the words you're trying to type.

More of a user problem than a keyboard one.

I'm optimist to a fault.

You crack me up with every single post. EVERY SINGLE ONE! Okay, every single one I've read. Sure it's only been 4 or 5 but those 4 or 5 were fucking uproarious.

 

[FGB]

Ahem!

I have the accursed windows Release 8.1 on my new Laptop.

I bought the one without touch screen...thank GOD!

I'm sure I'll learn to use it someday...I thinking of downloading a program to make the start button like XP's. I'm getting there.

Now as to my Old Laptop After downloading a program from Microsoft I am told I can Load Windows 7, 32 bit up on it.

As for my new high dollar Tablet with 8.1 touch screen on it...I don't know. makes a good paperweight.

I employ an accountant /personal assistant - works a treat.

For smaller business users a reasonable option will be to stick with Windows Seven for 12 months until the stuff ups are sorted out.

This is me on sleep deprivation. I'm sure I'll be back in grandiloquent twat mode after a nap.

No good reason to anyone who has Win 7 to switch. 8 is 7 plus touchscreen bullshit.

But if you buy a new pc, you likely get stuck with 8. Might be good then to know how to cope before ragequitting or breaking down in tears.

Pretty sure you'd be hilarious that way, too. Look at me being an optimist as well!

 

[Liar]

You'll see. Oh you'll see.

Anyway, it's 3 AM. I'm outta here. It's been a delight.

 

[islandman]

It's not 3am.

That's just Windows 8.1 fucking with you.

 

[Garnate]

Always a pleasure

It's not 3am.

Don't fall for it, Liar! islandman doesn't lie! 8.1 is fucking with you! Come baaaaaack!

*Dramatic faint*
