It may not be intuitive but once you learn it it's far quicker

I find I can get around a Windows 8 PC quicker than a Windows 7 one.

This shit is delightful. Major technique upgrade since Spring last year when I heard you last. Only one true mistake I've heard in the entire mix so far.

EDIT- 54:30 Didn't work at all. Scrap it.

Just got a LinkedIn message from some recruiter in Utah asking if I would be interested in an IT position in VA or DC. He then proceeded to list off about 8 programs/services for which I have no experience and concluded by saying I would be a solid candidate for the position.

thought you were singing the praises of windows 8 left, right, and center?

when it comes to OS's, if it ain't broke, i never fix it.
Yes, and it's still as good as I've said in the past. Can't blame it for trying to throw people off the dev release.

I think finray just wants to be the uber l33t tech guy so naturally donloading an os dev tool that he will likely never use is his little way of bragging.
Hi, I work at a computer shop so it was very beneficial to know my way around windows 8 so I can

a) repair it
b) sell it

so no, it wasn't just to be 1337. You're a twat.

win8 is pretty bad

well for macs the OS improvements are marginal at best, for windows it's sometimes sort of important, 7 was a lot better than that PoS that was vista.
It's not pretty bad. If you're on the desktop with one of the many many apps for a start button (both free and paid), then for all intents and purposes it's Windows 7. It's only when you hit that windows key and go to the metro screen where ANYTHING changes. Aside from that, it's exactly the same OS.

Windows 8 Dev Preview is up and now it's rebooting my computer every two hours and disabling flash video
There was an announcement about that a few months ago where all the preview versions of 8 would do exactly that on anything they were still installed on

If you like 8 enough, just get the $40 upgrade(assuming it's available in equivalent currency in your country) while you still can for the rest of January.
Yeah I forgot about it

I don't need to, I got a key from work. Someone bought a new Windows 8 Laptop, hated Windows 8, wanted me to put Windows 7 back on for him. I asked him if I could use his key. He said yes. Free key for me.

Let me know how your app development goes mr computer repairman.

Facebook, this chick I know posted:

"Does anyone know If you can run Windows 8 like previous windows? I seriously hate Windows 8.."

To which several people replied, including some chick who posted this gem:

"If you use an older windows ur pc/lab top will be infected as soon as you connect to the net... Due to new softwear that's why windows keeping bring out new editions... You may not see or notice the viruses at first but they can eat thro all older windows... Also old programs can't keep other people from hacking you or using or internet... If ur going to do this make sure u contact a pc expert u trust... Its kinda like a car if u don't know Wat to do then don't mess with it and most companyies will only half fix it so u keep going back spending money for repairs.. I just learnt this at xmas from my brother fixing all the family pc's coz they were using windows 7 or older..."

I replied "wat", she replies with "Yea slowly ur computer die..."

Next she's going to tell us about the olympic torch attachment burning out the C drive
