Well I have given Win 8.1 a fair trial. It did not pass muster so it
will become history as soon as I have the time is clean it off the
computer. Money not well spent. /shrug/

If you manage to clean it all off successfully, let us know. I have a PC
purchased with Win8.1 resident, and I'd just love to clear it all away
and put Win7 on it.

It would be nice what he found so egregious about Windows 8.1.

Did he try it on a system that was suitable to Windows 8.1.

How long did he try before he gave up?

Did he not like the modern interface? If so he right there with the
majority.

Did he set it to boot to the desktop, and try to use the desktop mode?
Which I think the majority will say provide a good operating system?

What difference does it make?
From my general reading, I would guess one or more of the following:

o Bloated resource hog on older hardware.
o Metro interface ok on a cell phone, but sucks on a desk top.
o Lots of UI changes with a long learning curve that adds no new
functionality, safety or reliability.
o The utter offensiveness of trying to foist it on a customer.
o etc. etc. That should cover most of it.

And here's they "man" we can thank for it

I would not worry about him, as worked up as he is and at the rate he is
going he is going to have a heart attack soon.

You can install Linux then Win 7.

If you're interested in selling your license for half of the purchased
price, I might take it off of your hands.

The easiest way to remove anything from a HD is to bootb up with a
windows 7 disc and just delete or format the partition(s)

Windows 8.x made me use Linux. I never looked back.
Unfortunately, I have to use Windows 8.x at work. It's crap.

Windows 8.x, in comparison to absolutely every distribution of
GNU/Linux, is a joy to use, fast and stable. I suggest you give it
another try rather than sacrifice your sanity using the mediocre code in
GNU/Linux.
