windows 8

[wannabegriffey]

I purchased windows 8 a few days ago and I am slowly learning the ins and outs.

Currently, I have a visual issue. I can not minimize/remove/move the 'your onedrive is up to date' message (this is the message showing me my last update and if I am sync'ed or paused). It takes up about 1/10 of my screen.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to remove ?

Why did you purchase Windows 8? Ugh that is a horrible OS.

I know this now. tigerdirect is going out of business and I got a bunch a stuff for a decent price. But I soooo wish I didn't have windows 8

fwiw, Windows 10 previews are getting very good reviews - it's being positioned as a best-of blend of the live tiles mode within Win8, and the traditional desktop of Win7. Supposed to come out late summer.

Maybe not a practical solution, but I say use another computer until Windows 10 comes out. I read somewhere that all pissed off Windows 8 owners get a free upgrade.

I had heard it was horrible.... and for the first 2 weeks I hated it. Now, I don't mind it at all.

Windows 8 is a very nice and stable OS. I really like it a lot and have found it to be flexible and useful after I took the time to learn it. But you weren't asking whether windows 8 is good or not, were you?

Was this cut and pasted from The Onion?

I agree that it has some very nice features if you invest the time to learn them. We've found it to be less than stable, though. Not Vista bad, but worse then Win7 for sure.

Why? I hate it as well, but I just click on the 'desktop' tile and it becomes Windows 7.

There's a desktop tile?

desktop tile is typically in the bottom left hand corner of the tile screen

mine is lower LH tile, and it uses my desktop image for the tile.
