It certainly has to be better than Vista!8O

Of course, I enjoy playing older computer games on my PC(such as Commodore 64 emulated games), and ones such as Doom, Planescape Torment, Ultima VII, etc. Since some of the games are so old, I have to use DOSBox to play them. From what I have heard, it will pretty much be impossible to play games like that on Windows 8(at least XP has a Compatibility option so you can play games in Win 95/98 emulation).

And I just realized that this thread is in the "Mobile Phones" sub-forum. I'm going to move it to a more appropriate one.

Thank you ( the all above ).

I also had a window 95 ,it also worked fine ( for me ).

Yes, but there's no Microsoft support for that OS anymore. XP is the oldest OS still supported. I preferred Win98 over Win95 myself. I noticed that once I went to XP, the "blue screens of death" pretty much ended.

I have W8 on my sh1tty Tosh1tba that is still in the shop, supposedly getting repaired. Hopefully, I 'll be able to use it better if they get the friggin thing fixed up.

Well, I got that piece of caca Tosh1tba back from the shop. It's working a little better this time esp since I am no longer using Chrome. But I have to wonder if this crapola will break down any time soon.

Tosh1tba sent me questionnaire asking me whether I am satisfied with their service. Well you know me - I'm not one to hold back and told them how full of sh1t their Pc is.

I absolutely adore Microsoft® Windows 8. However, I also have a touchscreen-enabled laptop. If you do not have a touchscreen device on which to use Windows 8, a number of the features and aspects of the interface will make a lot less senses for you.

I just finally got my glitchy internet connection fixed on my Asus touchscreen with Windows 8. Apparently (this is fling awesome), there is some lame *** hidden setting buried deep within the bowels of your internet connection stuff, that allows your computer to disconnect you from wifi to save power. And it's glitchy. So if it's on, it doesn't matter if you're plugged in or anything, your comp is booting you.

I ALWAYS turn that off.

The one good thing about the Toshïtba is that at long last I have finally learned how to use Wi-Fi. I would consider dropping my ISP and save a few bucks by using the free Wi-Fi we have in our building on a full time basis. But with this new shïtty PC I have no guarantee it'll keep working.

Apparently Microsoft is starting to figure out that the majority of PC users DON'T want the crap they were peddling as Windows 8. Windows 8.1 is supposed to be pretty much like the desktops that users were used to with XP. A Start button for one thing.

'window' plus 'x' is the 'start button' on 8. A simple workaround, once someone f'ing tells you about it. Which 8 doesn't.
