Anyone who doesn't think Windows 8.1 is better than Windows 7 doesn't have a clue what they're talking about.
What a compelling argument.

My level of computer knowledge is probably on Saddam's plebeian level. Windows 8 is awful and completely un-user friendly.

Thankfully, Windows 8 and 8.1 are different.

That's true, it's nice to have a start menu again but I would still rather go back to 7.

People are just very upset about Metro/Modern UI, which I can honestly understand. However, given that 3rd party solutions to that problem exist and work well, this is no reason to write Win8 off completely.

Too late for the boxes, but I'll post a picture of the computer once it's complete.

I prefer 8.1 simply because of performance improvements. The stupid tile screen is easily avoided and somewhat useful when you get used to it. I tried upgrading my W7 desktop to 8.1 lately and couldn't (easily) without paying, so I dropped it there, but otherwise I would.

My primary experience with Windows 8 is installing print drivers on other people's computers.  Why, oh why did they have to make it so gawd awfully unintuitive to get at the th*rking print drivers? >o<

Behold, the PC that I can't seem to connect to my monitor:



As soon as I get a chance, I'm going to buy an HDMI cable and see if that works.  If it doesn't, I have no idea what I'm going to do.

I had an older computer that was fully functional, but running a very old Pentium D. It did have an SSD, though. So Secret User and I took it out to the desert earlier today and blew it away with a 12 gauge. A mix of buckshot and slugs turned it into a mangled piece of sheet metal and silicon. The remaining pieces were successfully recycled. The exit wound from a 12 gauge slug is an impressive sight.

What are you getting on your monitor, the same thing you get if you have no cable plugged in?  (ie. it can't even detect that a cable exists)

If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

"can't seem to connect" is pretty vague. Not sure if he has it plugged in properly.

He was getting a "no signal" message at one point with VGA. I'm not sure if that was before or after he turned his graphics card's power cable the right way around, though.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on being able to put a uniquely shaped plug into the only slot it'll go.

He put the power cable backwards?  That was possible?
