Windows 8 is the worst

I just want to say, for anyone who has doubts, that Windows 8 is officially the worst fucking thing ever released as an operating system.

The home screen thing is unintuitive and tricky, but whatever, you can disable that. What you can't disable is the buggy as shit internet connectivity. If I load a page of Bleach successfully, and I click to the next one, it will eventually fail to load after much churning. I will have to troubleshoot the connection and reconnect to the network. Then I will load the second page. Then by the time I click to the third one, the same thing will happen.

Sometimes it just seems to go into seizures where it grabs and then drops the Internet repeatedly for an hour at a time. It's incredibly frustrating.

ALLOW ME TO SLAM INTO A MILLION OF YOUR JOURNALS AT ONCE.

Just concurring that Windows 8 is total shit. I'm so glad my friend was nice enough to install Windows 7 on Zero, so that I could avoid that monstrosity. Blagh. That sounds so annoying.

I'm not surprised. At all. My parents have had so many issues with their computer. I don't know if it has anything specifically to do with that bug. But I do know that whatever's going on is a major pain in their ass that they have tried to get fixed multiple times.

Maybe it'd help to update the driver? idk Windows 8 is a nightmare for me. That's why I don't want to get a new PC. :c

Windows... isn't exactly good with patches. There are issues with 7 that they still haven't fixed. But not being able to use wifi is ridiculous. I have no idea what kind of quality control testing they do, but they really ought to do more of it.
