Lots of incompatible software?!?!?
Wow, you must not own one. I mean, RCT3 that 2004 game runs extremely smoothly on high settings on my windows 8 laptop. And that game is beautiful. |

My laptop is a 2012 model, and some of the hardware isn't compatible with windows 8.1, so my fan gets stuck on when I update. It is so frustrating.
Hopefully I will find someone to fix that, though. |

"godawful interface" Yeah. Sure, it is really bad because you weren't even TRYING to learn the interface. I am fine with the interface, and now I can multitask and quickly change from an app to another.
Yeah the interface is terrible with all those good features. Sure. *sarcasm* |

The interface can go off itself. I cannot stand having something that I will never use, cluttering up my PC. Why would I buy 8.1, or 8, when I could just buy windows 7 and have a great experience on a layout that I know, love, and that just downright works. It will still be supported for years to come, meaning I will not have to upgrade until it becomes stale and unusable.

Considering I can just switch to desktop mode, I don't see why people are so whiny about the interface.
It's not even that difficult to learn. My mother learned it within hours of messing around, and she, though having been requiring to use computers for years for office work, isn't the most technically adapt person.
The only thing I dislike about Windows 8 is the abrupt updates. |

Windows 8 is not at all bad. People dislike change. Use StartisBack like I do, and there is only benefits from windows 8.
BTW, im a grill :^) |

"Windows 8 sucks. Plus I cant even download mods for my games it removes every thing I pess esc it takes me to the starting page Im getting a Windows 7 Again."
you didn't explain why
"Windows 7 for gaming Windows 8 & 8.1 for work, family stuff like facebook or anything not related to gaming Windows XP for EVERYTHING (loljk)"
why is it only good for what you mentioned?
"godawful interface"
you mean the interface that's almost identical to 7 with 8.1?
"The interface can go off itself. I cannot stand having something that I will never use, cluttering up my PC. Why would I buy 8.1, or 8, when I could just buy windows 7 and have a great experience on a layout that I know, love, and that just downright works.

windows 8.1 has the same interface as 7 just with metro, which doesn't even take up memory or any actual amount of space
windows 8 and 8.1 have been proven to perform better than windows 7 did
you guys were probably the first to complain when 7 changed the taskbar (provided you were old enough to read)

| The Windows 8 has to much crap on it. When I boot up my Windows 8 I instantly click Desktop. I never use the rest. |
