| 1336410 | 2013-04-12 04:29:00 | PC techos would not know how to open the bonnet of an iPad and anyway they don't need fixing!:illogical So you're saying Ipads cant and don't break -- :lol: Thats made my day, what a load of BS. Tell that to several people I know that had ipads and they simply sh1t themselves one day, it was cheaper to buy a new one than get the original fixed. Even then they went for Android devices due to ipads not being able to do tasks they wanted /had to do. |

| 1336413 | 2013-04-12 08:21:00 | Windows 8 is a failure . I remember people defending Vista the way they are defending 8 now . Vista was still a failure . Why is it a failure ? and be exact and specific with actual facts . Not just it sucks - thats NOT a explanation . I've sold lots of Windows 8 systems or OS's, and not one of the customers have complained about it . The main difference is the looks of the start screen and the start button missing . One customer who brought a all in one earlier this week summed it up nicely - he had heard all the comments about windows 8, after I had installed all the programs he wanted, I gave him a few minutes instructions on how to use windows 8 (and I mean less than 5 minutes to a guy who only does basic things like emails, work documents and web browsing, online banking) His comment was " whats the actual problem ???? - people who think this is hard are either completely stupid or have their head so far up their own ass they cant see a good thing if it bit them" Later that day he called me back saying he absolutely loved this new system, the more you use it the more you learn . Outwardly Its basically windows 7 with a couple of visual changes . Edited: if you think W8 is a failure then you're not going to like this - From Microsofts site: End of support refers to the date when Microsoft no longer provides automatic fixes, updates, or online technical assistance-- End of mainstream support ---- Windows 7 January 12, 2015 |

| 1336414 | 2013-04-12 09:35:00 | I'm still on Win7 the only reason I haven't updated to 8 is due to financial reasons, I have played with it briefly instore and it seems easy enough | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1336415 | 2013-04-12 10:18:00 | It is easy enough Gary, I bet if I put up screen shots of a Windows 8 and Windows 7 Desktop with the same Icons, but hid the taskbar so you couldn't see if it had a start button or not no one could tell which was which. If they could it would be a straight guess as they couldn't tell why. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1336416 | 2013-04-12 11:04:00 | Windows 8 is fantastic, if you don't like it fairs fair, I don't like OSX, but it's not shitty or a "flop" of an OS, I just prefer windows. In all seriousness I don't think you can call Windows 8 a flop, vista was a bit buggy and had a lot of compatibility issues, 7 was *perfect* and people just need to get used to 8, they resist change. If 7 had been released after XP it would have been as much of a "flop" as vista was. |
