When I got my new desktop around for Christmas last year I was hoping I could still get it with Windows 7 on it, but I couldn't. It has Windows 8, and the lack of the old start menu drives me insane. I end up clicking the internet icon that's in it's location out of reflex quite often. I also dislike the home screen or whatever it's called. I don't use the thing, and I don't know why on earth it's even there. If they kept Windows 8 to tablets it would probably be fine, but using it for regular computers feels so weird. I don't for the life of me know why a desktop or laptop needs apps.
When I first got the thing finding stuff was such a bitch, including control panel as Magus said. On an unrelated note, being that I literally live in a car shop I've worked on a few cars before, and there are quite a few that are put together in such a way that you have to remove things in order to get to other thing, and other times it things can be accessed if you twist your hand in a weird way. I have to wonder what on earth the designers were thinking when they designed some of this shit.
