More bad news surfaces

Why do you run Windows 8?

What was so bad about Windows 7 that you had to throw it away and run out and buy Windows 8?

This is absolutely the most baffling thing. You yourself agree with me, you say that nothing I'm saying is wrong, yet because my opinions were formed from observation and discussion rather than direct hands-on experience, they're missing the "magic something" required to make them meaningful?

He's telling you that you can't criticize anything unless you vote for it 100  times first. At 1 vote = $1.  Then realize you were wrong for voting that way.

Then you can criticize it.


This is like saying you can't criticize Obama for attacking Civil Rights, Snowden, etc. unless you voted for him.

This is like saying you can't criticize the locked-down stupidity of the iphone unless you first buy one and spend 20 hours using it and trying to figure out how to unlock it.

This is like saying you can't criticize lawyers for filing fake lawsuits unless you have actually been a lawyer and filed fake lawsuits yourself.

This is like saying you can't criticize the cops for beating up an unarmed person laying on the ground unless you have actually been a cop before.

You wouldn't pay much mind nor have much use for a movie critic in the local newspaper if every review he writes starts out with:

"I didn't bother seeing the film, but I think I got a good idea what it's like from watching trailers on TV for it.  My brother says it sucks, my paperboy says it sucks, so it obviously sucks - 2 thumbs down!!!!"

I trust what the brother and paperboy say over what any film critic says.


Seriously, I have found that professional movie reviewers have warped tastes and they are completely out of touch with regular ppl.

I have read many surveys that confirm this.



Ok, back to the W8 topic: I am a little bit surprised that you like W8 for gaming.  The other day my brother was reading over a list of games to try out and a  lot of the games said "Does not work on Windows 8".  So it would seem to me that, overall, Windows7 would be better for gaming.

I haven't yet seen any Windows8 games that said "Does not work on Windows7".  I am sure they exist but I think they far fewer in number.
