I have been doing winblows tech support for a friend that's tech challenged and has a winblows 8 netbook. To help her with Win 8 I installed a neat program called Classic shell. This gives you a winblows 7 desktop look and feel while still having winblows 8 there. The start button is a circle with a scallop shell in it. Even though she has MS Office I put Libre office on it. It's sad but you pretty much have to replace so much to be safe and as amiga1260 said VLC and classic media player are by far better.
People always say not to judge a man till you walk a mile in his shoes... I have had to use windoze for games and a bit of web browsing... (I find it funny Firefox can't log in here on Amiga.org It says thank you for logging in but drops you right back out
) The Amiga and PegasosII/MorphOS are still my primary systems though. I do all my e-mail and art and news letters for Amitech-Dayton on them. I have walked that mile and then some. Having used xp and win7 pro and had to repeatedly fix an 8 system, (Because the trained tech keep breaking things. >.< ) I think I've earned the right to bash it. This thing will never be as good as Amiga.
