Sounds like me on a Mac.

Not this time! I had no problem with Vista either! In fact I use many OSs. I can jump on anything (I distro hop linux) and figure out how things work pretty quickly. Not with Win8! I got angry! Good luck M$!

I’m upgrading to Linux. I saw the lure of turning the PC back into a mainframe slave where people pay for time or as they so nicely call it, subscribe now, years ago and I am not going there. I remember when all the programmers at Microsoft used to whine about not being able to go back to the good old mainframe days and ever since Bill had his epiphany about the internet Microsoft has been slowly nudging users in that direction. I tested their junk for years and when the first versions of Linux appeared I jumped on it. If I am going to pay for junk with service packs sometimes larger than the initial software why not use free junk and I have found many applications in all the free junk “stuff” to meet my needs, thank you very much. Don’t get me started on that boat anchor of a GUI they are using for Windows 8. If it is so good why is there a thriving industry of third party apps to make Windows Vista-8 look like Windows circa 2000?

I don’t and won’t own a tablet, or any device that requires me to fondle the screen, I don’t and won’t subscribe to anything and I won’t and don’t use any cloud junk. I don’t even like WiFi, I have all my computers wired. With all the people bitc^&%$$ about cable why they can’t see the same thing coming with their cell phones, and all this other crap is beyond me.

I have been collecting the necessary software and hardware to cut the cord to the Internet if I have to down the road. You know what, for the most part Windows Office XP or 95 work just fine and when you make hard copy looks great. People can take twitter, facebook, youtube, the cloud, subscription and all that other garbage and put it where the sun doesn’t shine.

Certainly kernel modification will never be supported by MS per se, but it is possible.

Replacing the Kernal or having choices will never happen with MS. It is always, here it is, it’s the best, deal with it…

I doubt it. People just seem to take whatever if given to them. MS will not miss a beat. I have never had an issue with Vista but in reality, it should of brought the house down and it didn’t.
