Why would I want to buy Windows 8
location:

June 26, 2012
I keep asking myself over and over, " Why would I want to buy or use Windows 8 ? "
I found nothing innovative, creative nor technologically advanced about it
It is more difficult to use in a desktop or laptop setting
It has less functionality then Windows 7,
no WMC,
no DVD playback,
lack of mail settings in Metro,
the Metro apps are few and honestly next to useless, Metro seems more like an infomercial than a software tool
other than Microsoft no one is willing to have it preloaded on a notebook
and I just think it looks ugly, it looks like something out of the 70's,
perhaps MS developers were doing heavy drugs when they designed this
I really, really, really was hoping Mic

Why is Microsoft so lazy? No Service Pack 3 for Vista. No Service Pack 2 for Windows 7 but now you want everyone to buy Windows 8? No thanks.

I had to re-install Vista last night after my computer began reporting that there were no bootable devices found. It took almost the entire day to complete the fresh install. I had to download and install Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 which took about
an hour each. And then finally, Windows update began downloading another 115 separate updates.Which took "more" time to install.

Why won't windows 8 let me save files to wherever I want?
location:

My computer is Windows 8.
I am the only User.
I have administrator privileges.
I tried to save an edited readme file from Notepad into a Program Files (x86) sub-folder.
...got the message "you need permission from the administrator to save here"
the only buttons were "save in My Documents" or "Cancel" .
reluctantly I saved to My Documents then had to navigate around File Explorer to try to move the file to it's Program folder...
this was hindered by a request for administrator permission to Continue but eventually succeeded in putting the file where I wanted it to go.
This is security gone mad!!

Don't buy Windows 8 right away with Paypal.

Windows 8 Pro is now available to purchase directly from Microsoft for $40.
However it seems you can only purchase it through the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant that you have to download, which checks your system first.
I used this utility and paid through paypal. But once the transaction was finished in paypal, the application went to an error screen which doesn't let you go back or do anything except exit.
Paypal and my bank account both say that the transaction is completed, but I never recieved any email, and after calling Microsoft they have no record of my transaction. Hopefully it goes through in the next few hours, but in the meantime wait a bit as the servers are overloaded.
