30 Days Is Too Long: Animated Rant About Windows 8

Posted by timothy on from the devil's-advocate dept.

First time accepted submitter Funksaw writes "Back in 2007, I wrote three articles on Ubuntu 6, Mac OS X 10.4, and Windows Vista, which were all featured on Slashdot. Now, with the release of Windows 8, I took a different tactic and produced an animated video. Those expecting me to bust out the performance tests and in-depth use of the OS are going to be disappointed. While that was my intention coming into the project, I couldn't even use Windows 8 long enough to get to the in-depth technical tests. In my opinion, Windows 8 is so horribly broken that it should be recalled."

    Win8 is not as bad as these idiots make out, i use it a year, no problem. I'm an adult. My kids can use it to. So a linux geek can't use windows 8 , so what?

    Yes, apparently you do not understand it. Windows 8 is Metro with windows 7 running as an application inside it. Metro cannot be fully disabled and goes out of its way to hinder any task you vainly hope to complete whilst using this abomination of an OS, even if you decide "not to use" it.
