Anyone who's ever actually said it's literally unusable is wrong because of course that's not true. The actual complaint is that the Windows 8 home screen is much harder to use with a mouse/keyboard and certainly isn't an improvement on the Win7 Start Menu therefore is a UI downgrade for anyone without a touchscreen.

Anyone who's ever actually said it's literally unusable is wrong because of course that's not true. The actual complaint is that the Windows 8 home screen is much harder to use with a mouse/keyboard and certainly isn't an improvement on the Win7 Start Menu therefore is a UI downgrade for anyone without a touchscreen.


I disagree. I think Windows 8.1 isn't hard to use with a mouse and keyboard at all. Also the start menu, whilst at first was something different, is actually much easier to use than the Windows 7 version. I find that the more popular programmes and apps are all exactly where I need them and it looks lovely.

Well Windows 9 will give those of us who think it's shite the option to not have to deal with it and then we can all just stop talking about it over and over again. So that'll be nice.

Which is a tacit admission it didn't work for a large portion of their customer base. So people saying it isn't a problem are just plainly wrong.
