My dad is basically anti-computer, he doesn't do anything more on the computer than go on facebook and play fake casino games.
So he was having problems opening his time sheets because he's a construction foreman. So he was having trouble opening a new one from his email to save it onto his surface tablet. Thought it would be easy to just waltz right in and save it but no. I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out how to save an attacked excel sheet from email to save it on his computer to the point he could open it.
Worse 20 minutes of my life, not knowing how to open an minimize tabs, full screen apps, random pop ups. And then the worse was, "We are just being overprotective so I want you to log all the way in again". Took forever.

Yep windows 8 sucks
- Dark themes make the title bar text unreadable - Can't move files to certain locations as an admin account? I tried moving a file to C: and it wouldn't let me - Can't remove charms bar
i had a huge list but didnt save it because i switched to win 7 way too many people shilling win 8 and never mention these issues. its either "you can just use a third party program to add the start menu" or "you're afraid of change" |

use classicshell to get old start menu
ModernMix to get rid of fullscreen metro apps and allow you to move them around
and if you want old aero back, patch using uxpatcher and then find an aero theme |

When I got my HP Pavilion x360 it was uh I hated it but now I love it theres so many useful features I've only really used Cent os a bit of wheelsy os for raspberry pi windows xp and windows 7 and Yosemite but I love the way its made. I dont use the built in apps apart from the calculator as the default Microsoft one doesn't support division so I split the screen but other than that its a solid machine.
I do have tiffs with loading time like if I'm using a different account oh god it takes forever to logout and log in again.
