I know this will get negative attention drawn toward me. I'll be hailed as an idiot, as someone who can't fix their own computer, etc.
Then again, i've been hailed as an idiot from a definite idiot who didn't want to upgrade from win98.
I still highly don't recommend running as admin 24/7 in windows. You know, because preventative measures to lessen work are stupid and all
In before someone says i don't know how to fix computers (and somehow it is theorized that i will actually care what they're occupation is...that person certainly went on a personal attack tirade, and in the end i was still right), that i let my computers treat me like an idiot, that i'm afraid to get into the nitty gritty, that i don't know what i'm actually doing, etc.
Yeah, preventative maintenance results in bad stuff (yeesh).
All i can say is from my rant. Windows 7 is actually decent, then again, windows vista is more decent (windows 7 is windows vista with features removed). It's why i told my dad not to upgrade from vista because that would be 100% pointless. Now, as much as i don't like using windows from a technical standpoint dealing mainly with it's inefficiencies, I don't hate it, i just know it could be better (this is why i run linux). But, windows 8 was such a folley. Don't buy it just to be hip and new. But, in all seriousness staving away from the bugs it has (it's still new, i will fault them on this, i have choice in running stable software while remaining up to date...without spending money is a different thing i'm not focussing on currently, but, you think microsoft would like to release stable products).
When you have to make a microsoft account, and enter in a phone number, and more information about yourself just to make a user account. I ask why people would want to subject themselves to more bull****. Want to make as many user accounts as you want with different permission settings the easy way? Fine, then run win2k/xp/vista/7. You'll get it done a lot easier and faster. The actual point i'm reaching here is this, ease of use is out the door; windows 7 is the last of it's kind for windows. That's the part i don't like, because it diverges almost completely from standard ways of doing things on computers to more difficult steps to take to get something rather easy done to difficult.
I'm use to making other user accounts for users on other systems, i should be able to do it without the user being there. Asking them to make a microsoft account or whatever, phone number, full name, address for adding to a system. When it's not your own system running windows 8 doing this. Then, you'll think differently when you're (just for example) going to college and the staff make you a user account for the campus system (why is the tech asking so much information about me? are they a creep?). This makes it even more difficult to work on windows because it guarantees more down time in the area of working on user accounts.
