There's nothing wrong with windows 8. Here's the thing i bet it is only
old people who are complaining about win8.

IE those who where around in the time of win 95.

And those old people are on the way out, so windows does not care about the
old only the young? As they are the ones who are going to be using it.

And they are the ones who have growen up with mobile phones.

No one like change!

Querstion how old are you?


I'm the oldest person in my family, but I seem to be the only one that
knows how to do anything with a computer other than web browsing. I've
also worked in Technical Support for an internet service where I was
advising people who were mostly younger than me. Don't assume that old
people are stupid; old people are the ones with most experience. Often
when young people are excited by some gimmick that they think is new,
we're the ones who have seen it all before.

Another question what can win7 do that win8 can not please provide a list.
of say ten points or more if you wish.


There's probably nothing Windows 8 can't do that older systems could
do, provided you're prepared to re-learn how to use a computer to work
out how to do it. However, its default way of doing things is very
counterintuitive to those who are accustomed to things that most
previous operating systems all had, most Linux distros included. Those
would include visible buttons to click, rather than just knowing that
you had to swipe the mouse off a particular edge or corner with
nothing to indicate that you're supposed to do this.

I don't think I'm too old to learn new stuff, but why should I have
to, just to do what I could do before? Computers are supposed to serve
our needs, not the other way around.
