I Have Nightmares.. of Windows 8!

Windows 8 is the new operating system in Microsoft's well known series. Windows OS's are known to be very easy and user-friendly (also "noob friendly") apart from being one of the most pirated software in the entire world.

Before it came the marvelous Windows 7 that was more a perfection of the "experiment" its predecessor Vista was. However, Windows 7 is very stable and safe and has hundreds of new improvements over Windows XP. In fact it is like an improved XP OS to many.

But what about this 8 that is so talked about? Only talked about because few people are actually buying it. Why they are not buying it? There are many reasons for that. Let me count them before you.

What is that big huge rectangle? Windows 8 brings a new Metro user interface with it that looks much like the AOL UI if you have seen it. The applications are treated like apps on a smart phone. In fact the OS is especially targeted towards touch-screens. But that does not mean you cannot use keyboard and mouse. Only with a mouse it feels a out-of-place clicking those big rectangular icons. Feels like your monitor is a big smartphone! Thank you Microsoft for selling me a god-damn phone as a computer! 

Where is the Start button? Now if that was not enough.. I cannot find my Start Button. Now where the f**k is that gone? Ah.. Microsoft thinks you don't need it anymore. Now no more Windows people cursing Unity for losing the Launcher Button! Why because they lost it themselves. Jokes apart but Start button was a great plus point of Windows OS and removing it was a very dangerous step. Now we need to use add-ons for artificial Start buttons. 

Please boot me back into the Desktop! No. The desktop isn't gone fortunately. But our faithful old friend does not show up all the time. 

The dreaded UEFI.. Okay so now it is super complicated to dual boot any other OS with Windows 8 on new system that use "UEFI" based BIOS. This monsterrrrr named UEFI is very much pro-Microsoft and will make every effort to stop you from using any other OS but Windows! WTF? So, Microsoft clearly fails making it's own OS deserving the love of us users and as a last resort tries to cut off the users from other options as well. Remember NAZI party? actually I don't want to remember. 

Driver! Go Left.. No Not Right! :\ I said LEFT.. WTF? Okay so drivers make a system's base. A driver connects software to hardware. But what happens when your drivers fail you? Your system crashes, your data erased, your family pics deleted, you cannot play new games and your dog howls in the middle of the night. Okay cut the last one :D but drivers on Windows 8 are really buggy and until recently people had to use Windows 7 drivers temporarily. That situation did improve recently but not totally. Compatibility is a huge problem in Windows 8.

This is only the cream and I did even not delve inside the milk because there is a lot of bullsh!t in there. I have nightmares of using this OS and get terrified about when Windows 7 period gets over and we will be forced to use this sh!t. But then we do have Linux for that time and there will always be noobs buying Windows. Till then take care!
