The arse end of the planet
I only went to Winblows 8 to get a little extra out of my FX-8150 but otherwise, I am less than impressed with its extra BS and networking.

Ex7forW8 works great for start menu but trying to share folders is a bitch. Having to turn on the guest account just to share is crap.




As for server, same again, just more headaches.

If someone could get my games working on Ubuntu or a Hackintosh (on AMD???? LOL, nope), I would be ditching windows.

Storage spaces and torrent client are the only reasons to keep it other than games.

I would honestly rather go back to the Windows 3.11 for Workgroups/NT 3.51 look than the new crap.....

That said, I will be loading Windows Blue on a spare HDD in my desktop since I need to know how apps act with it for work (since I know I will have to develop for it some day).
