Just stopping off here before i go to bed for a quick rant....
Bought a laptop at the exchange (Military only retail store) and it came pre-loaded with windows 8. I looked and looked but could not find a windows 7 anywhere, neither pre-loaded or physical copy. After a whole 10 minutes on windows 8, i came to the conclusion that i hate it. I mean really hate it. So today, waited until microsoft opened and called them. They do NOT ship to military addresses so buying a physical copy from them is out the question. They no longer offer a digital download of it. When i asked if there was some legit way of making windows 8 look like, maybe act like, windows 7. I started getting textbook replies that sounded rehearsed. The woman was infuriating and anything but helpful. Bottom line, i am stuck with windows 8 until i get back to the states.
I may be slow on the uptake, but it truly is obvious to me how uncaring microsoft has become. The lack of knowledgeable support, textbook annoying answers, and just the general feeling of "we want you to use windows 8 and stop using 7!" makes me sick.
Oh, one more thing. Most of you probably don't know, but Microsoft actually BOUGHT back all the physical copies of Windows 7 from the military exchange stores. They really wanted us to use Windows 8 it seems.
